Material: PPSU 1000

PPSU 1000 stock shapes are produced from RADEL®R resin. High max allowable service temperatures, high strength and stiffness, excellent hydrolosis resistance, dimensional stability and resistance against high energy radiation (gamma and x-rays). Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties. Better impact strength and chemical resistance than PSU 1000 and PEI 1000. Virtually unlimited steam sterilisability. Raw material used for the production of PPSU 1000 stock shapes is USP Class VI compliant.
