PPSU Sheet Rod

HONYPLAS® Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) is an amorphous material. Compared with PSU, it has improved impact resistance and hydrolysis resistance. The usual working temperature is about 170°C. After high temperature aging, it still maintains extremely high notched impact strength.

HONYPLAS® polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) has the highest performance among sulfone polymers, has better impact and chemical resistance than polysulfone (PSU) and polyetherimide (PEI), and has the highest performance among plastic materials Impact resistance and stress crack resistance, its Izod notch impact resistance is as high as 690J/m.

HONYPLAS® polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) has excellent long-term high temperature resistance (RTI up to 180°C) and excellent hydrolytic stability. It is an ideal choice for hot water fittings and medical device applications that require repeated steam sterilization. Unrestricted steam sterilization and excellent resistance to chlorinated hot water.

PPSU - Polyphenylsulfone Ensinger TECASON P plastic

The PPSU semi-finished products produced by Ensinger usually use Radel® PPSU as the raw material, which can provide two forms of sheet and rod, which can be used for machining.

PPSU plastic is an amorphous material with a high glass transition temperature and low moisture absorption. In addition, PPSU material has better impact strength and chemical resistance than other polysulfone materials such as PSU and PES. In addition to these properties, PPSU materials are more resistant to hot steam sterilization than other polysulfone materials, and are resistant to detergents and disinfectants.

TECASON P MT XRO black is a specially developed X-ray visible and biocompatible PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) material. This line of materials allows us to meet the challenging requirements of minimally invasive and image-controlled surgery. It is made radio-opaque by adding a contrast agent to standard medical grade PPSU material. Machined parts made using it are clearly visible under fluoroscopy and x-rays. By using the material, surgical instruments and orthopedic implant trial heads are clearly imaged during image-controlled surgery. Medical grade PPSU materials have greatly improved in terms of temperature resistance, impact strength, and chemical resistance, and are very resistant to repeated steam high temperature sterilization (maintaining good dimensional stability and physical properties). TECASON P MT XRO material has passed the ISO 10993 test.
