Evonik EUROPLEX® PPSU Sheet  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)

Material Notes: EUROPLEX®sheets based on the engineering polymer polyphenyl sulphone (PPSU) are employed worldwide more and more frequently to manufacture visors for the protection of fire workers at their dangerous operations during fire fighting and lifesaving. EUROPLEX® PPSU is a sheet material distinguished by its special combination of properties:
  • EUROPLEX® PPSU is inherently flame-retardant (self-extinguishing without flame retardant). Its rating of UL94:V0 at 0.8 mm thickness stands for very good fire behavior.
  • High heat distortion temperature up to 190°C in permanent service.
  • EUROPLEX® PPSU shows excellent mechanical properties over a wide temperature range – also at low temperatures. Therefore face shields manufactured from this material are virtually unbreakable.
  • Being an amorphous material EUROPLEX® PPSU shows extraordinary chemical resistance. It is not affected by perspiration.
EUROPLEX® PPSU was tested by leading helmet and visor manufacturers. It obtained all necessary approvals in accordance to the ongoing standard EN 443:2008 for helmets for fire fighting in buildings and other structures and the integrated standard EN 14458:2004 for personal eye-equipment – face shields and visors for use with fire fighters - and high performance Industrial safety helmets used by fire fighters, ambulance and emergency services. The amber colored visors manufactured from EUROPLEX® PPSU can also be coated with anti-scratch or anti-fog surface layers. They can be supplied with or without a gold coating for applications with increased IR radiation.
