Ensinger RADEL® R-5500 Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)
Material Notes:	RADEL® R is a Polyphenylsulfone produced by Solvay Advanced Polymers. RADEL® R is in the same performance category as products like Polysulfone and ULTEM® (PEI). RADEL® R has increased performance versus Polysulfone and ULTEM® in terms of temperature, impact strength and chemical resistance. RADEL® R has exceptional resistance to repeated steam autoclaving without loss of dimensional stability or physical properties. RADEL® R comes in both opaque and transparent grades. The transparent grade is R-5500 and the opaque grade is R-5100. High tensile strength Excellent heat resistance Very high resistance to environmental stress Great mechanical strength High dielectric strength and stability Low dissipation factor Very good machinability and finishing Available in opaque and transparent grades RADEL® R series products are targeted at a number of industries and applications. The initial target market is the medical industry. RADEL® R is used in applications for surgical tools and instruments because of its resistance to autoclave sterilization damage. A second market for RADEL® R is electronics because of its temperature resistance and dielectric properties. Information Provided by Ensinger Industries, Inc.
