General Info
Sultron™ PPSU Radel (Formerly Quadrant PPSU) polyphenylsulfone is an amorphous high performance thermoplastic offering better impact resistance and chemical resistance than polysulfone and polyetherimide (Duratron® PEI).
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials PPSU offers superior hydrolysis resistance when compared to other amorphous thermoplastics as measured by steam autoclaving cycles to failure. In fact, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials PPSU has virtually unlimited steam sterilizability. This factor makes it an excellent choice for medical devices as steam autoclaves are widely used to sterilize medical devices. It also resists common acids and bases–including commercial washing solutions– over a broad temperature range. Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials PPSU is available from stock in natural (bone white) and made to order in transparent and custom colors. Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials PPSU is tested for ISO 10993 and USP Class VI compliance, FDA compliant and NSF compliant under standards 51 and 61.
