| Radel® R-5500 is a general purpose extrusion grade of polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), offering exceptional hydrolytic stability and better toughness than most commercially available high-temperature polymers. This resin has a high heat deflection temperature, excellent thermal stability, outstanding resistance to environmental stress cracking, good electrical properties and inherent flame retardant properties. Transparent and opaque colors are available. Transparent Grades: Natural: Radel® R-5500 NT Opaque Grades: Black: Radel® R-5500 BK937 Bone: Radel® R-5500 NT15 Grey: Radel® R-5500 GY1137 Grey: Radel® R-5500 GY1037 Grey: Radel® R-5500 GY874 Red: Radel® R-5500 RD1018 Orange: Radel® R-5500 OR1145 Yellow: Radel® R-5500 YL1337 Green: Radel® R-5500 GN1007 Blue: Radel® R-5500 BU1027 Blue: Radel® R-5500 BU391 Violet: Radel® R-5500 VT2582 Brown: Radel® R-5500 BN1164&& |
