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. |
