Introduction to PPSF

Polyphenylsulfone (PPSF) is an engineering grade thermoplastic with superior
mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. With an HDT of 189° C (372° F), you
can perform a wider range of tests at higher temperatures, giving you more accurate
information. Some of PPSF's high-performance characteristics include:
• High tensile strength and flexural strength
• Real engineering material used in end-products
• Tough enough to rapid manufacture usable parts
• Dimensional stability
• Resistance to chemicals, acids, and petroleum products,
• Ability to sterilize for medical applications
