EUROPLEX^® PPSU

EUROPLEX® PPSU

EUROPLEX® PPSU is a sheet material distinguished by its special combination of properties: high heat distortion temperature up to 190° C in permanent service EUROPLEX® PPSU has outstanding mechanical properties over a wide temperature range (also at very low temperatures). EUROPLEX® PPSU shows extraordinary chemical resistance for an amorphous material. Parts made of EUROPLEX® PPSU can be sterilized by all conventional methods, particularly by superheated steam at 2,000 cycles or more, also in combination with morpholine. EUROPLEX® PPSU therefore shows very particularly good resistance to hydrolysis. EUROPLEX® PPSU is inherently flame-retarded. Its rating to UL94:VO at 1.6 mm thickness stands for very good fire behavior. EUROPLEX® PPSU is physiologically unobjectionable and easily meets FDA and USP requirements for food contact and medical applications. Available in the form of transparent or opaque sheets in thicknesses of 0.8 to 6.0 mm Sheets made from this material are mainly processed into medical containers for use in hospitals. Beside this EUROPLEX® PPSU sheets are more and more used in industrial plants and machines.
