PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone)

Features:
  • PPSU is an amorphous high performance thermoplastic offering better impact resistance and chemical resistance than polysulfone and polyetherimide. PPSU offers superior hydrolysis resistance when compared to other amorphous thermoplastics as measured by steam autoclaving cycles to failure. In fact, PPSU has virtually unlimited steam sterilizability. This factor makes it an excellent choice for medical devices as steam autoclaves are widely used to sterilize medical devices. It also resists common acids and bases  including commercial washing solutions over a broad temperature range.
  • Stock Shape / Size Range : Plate (Thickness: 10mm - 50mm) / Rod (Dia: 6mm - 100mm)

Preferred Fields:
Dental instrument handles, electronic assembly equipment to withstand solder temps, endoscopic components, fluid handling couplings & fittings, medical wands, orthopedic hip & knee trials, sterilization medical device components, sterilization trays, surgical instrument handles.


Characteristics:

  • High thermal and mechanical capacity
  • Good heat deflection temperature
  • Hydrolysis and superheated steam resistant
  • Good impact strength
  • High stiffness
  • High strength
  • Good chemical resistance
  • High gamma radiation resistance
  • High modulus of elasticity
