PPSU Polyphenylsulfone, Radel®

DESCRIPTION

Radel® (Polyphenylsulfone – PPSU) is a high performance material that offers better impact resistance and chemical resistance than either Polysulfone or Ultem. It has outstanding resistance to steam, making it an ideal choice for reusable medical and dental instruments and can be used at temperatures approaching 400ºF. It is USP class VI compliant, meaning that through testing there are no harmful reactions or long-term bodily effects when used for an implant.
