Know Everything About Quadrant PPSU Engineering Plastics

Sultron™ PPSU Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) is an amorphous high performance thermoplastic offering better impact resistance and chemical resistance than Polysulfone and polyetherimide.

Sultron® PSU is a family of polysulfone products that offer high chemical resistance to acidic and salt solutions, and good resistance to detergents, hot water and steam. In addition, polysulfone has excellent radiation stability, and offers low ionic impurity levels.

Sultron™ PPSU

Sultron™ PPSU is an amorphous, high-performance thermoplastic engineering plastic with impact resistance and chemical stability superior to PSU and PEI.

Sultron™ PPSU exhibits excellent hydrolysis resistance during autoclaving, superior to other amorphous thermoplastics. In fact, Sultron™ PPSU can be subjected to virtually unlimited exposure to steam sterilization, which is widely used to sterilize medical components, making Sultron™ PPSU a good choice for medical device components. In addition, Sultron™ PPSU is resistant to corrosion by commonly used acids and bases, including commercial cleaning agents, over a wide temperature range.

Sultron™ PPSU is available in natural (bone white) and other custom colors.Sultron™ PPSU is commonly used in sterile trays, dental and surgical instrument handles, and in coupling and assembly applications during fluid control.Sultron™ PPSU meets USP Class VI standards.Sultron™ PPSU allows for soldering temperatures that are suitable for use in Sultron™ PPSUs have a heat deflection temperature of 207°C. Sultron™ PPSUs are USP Class VI compliant.

Sultron™ LSG PPSU

Sultron™ LSG PPSU is molded by Mitsubishi Chemical High-Tech Materials from selected batches of specific Radel R polyethersulfone resins (e.g., R5100, R5500) Sultron™ LSG PPSU provides impact strength and chemical stability superior to Duratron® LSG PEI and LSG PSU, and is also subjected to autoclave failure tests. Sultron™ LSG PPSU profiles have excellent hydrolysis resistance as demonstrated by autoclave failure tests, and the composition of the profiles complies with the applicable regulations of the European Union (Directive 2002/72/EC, as amended), and the United States of America (FDA) for plastic materials in contact with food. Sultron™ LSG PPSU profiles have been successfully prototyped to demonstrate compliance with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and ISO 10993-1 guidelines for biocompatibility testing of materials, and we offer full production traceability from resin to profile. In addition, Sultron™ LSG PPSU profiles perform well in steam, dry heat, plasma, ethylene oxide, gamma radiation and other sterilization environments, making them ideal for medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
