What is PPSU?
PPSU is an excellent choice for components that are exposed to high temperatures (up to 200°C) and corrosive media due to its exceptional chemical resistance. As well as being extremely impact resistant.
This type of plastic has been used as it also has superior thermal and mechanical properties with the added benefit of being transparent. Intricate parts that would have been near impossible to manufacture in Stainless Steel or lab-grade glass, to be injection molded. Because this is a very unique type of plastic, it comes at a much higher cost per kg than other industrial plastics and more than Stainless Steel.
PPSU Plastics Offer:
High Operating Temperature (180°C)
Good Chemical Compatibility
Excellent Resistance to Hydrolysis (Suitable for Repetitive Steam Sterilization)
High Rigidity over a Wide Range of Temperatures
Very High Impact Strength
High Dimensional Stability
Very Good Resistance against High Energy Radiation (Gamma and X-Rays)
Good Electrical Insulating Properties
Favorable Dielectric Characteristics
