Syensqo (Solvay Specialty Polymers) Radel® R-5000 Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)  (Unverified Data**)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)
Material Notes:	Radel R-5000 is a transparent polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) which offers exceptional hydrolytic stability, and toughness superior to other commercially-available, high-temperature engineering resins. This resin also offer high deflection temperatures and outstanding resistance to environmental stress cracking. Radel polymers are inherently flame retardant, provide excellent thermal stability and possess good electrical properties. - Clear: Radel R-5000 CL 301 - Natural: Radel R-5000 NT Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
