Rulon Bearings
GEHR Plastics MEDI-GEHR® PPSU MG
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)

Material Notes: Polyphenylenesulfone is an amorphous material, with improved impact and hydrolysis resistance compared to PSU. This amber-colored, transparent material is usually used in a black color, which is why we only offer it in this color version so far. The usual operating temperature is approx. +170 °C. The extremely high notch impact strength remains also after a heat aging.

Features: High strength and rigidity; Very high impact strength (also at low temperatures); Very good dimensional stability; Very high chemical resistance; High resistance to many kinds of radiation; Very good sterilizing capability; Lower chemical resistance than comparable semicrystalline materials

Typical Applications: Instrument handles; Instruments for microinvasive surgery; Sterilization cassettes; Analysis technology; In vitro diagnostics; Food industry; Pump wheels; Valves
