    Polyetherimide/Ultem Frames

    Seen these become available in a few lines recently. Haven't been able to locate the specs I want to see on the material. Does anybody know if the material is biodegradable? Has anyone been dispensing it for awhile? How is it holding up?

    It's not. It's a distinctly different polymer.
