Descrizione
ThermaX™ PPSU [Polyphenyl Sulfone] is considered one of the highest-performance plastics in the industry. This high-temperature amorphous polymer offers excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance.
Polyphenylsulfone (PPSF or PPSU) is a high-temperature aromatic sulfone polymer. Long considered one of the highest-performing polymers in the world of plastics, PPSU has excellent thermal and chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, electronics, defense, industrial, medical, and semiconductor industries. Previously available only to Stratasys® customers, you can now print with this high-performance polymer.
The benefits of ThermaX™ PPSU include:
- Very high thermal properties superior to Ultem™ 1010
- Tg of 220°C and HDT of 205°C
- High environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR)
- Sterilization capabilities, including EtO gas, radiation, steam autoclave sterilization, plasma, dry heat, and cold sterilization
- Exceptional strength and modulus, even at high temperatures
- Exceptional impact resistance
- Highly resistant even to high doses (10 billion) of gamma radiation
- Resists most common automotive fluids including gasoline, antifreeze, transmission fluids, engine oils, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid (ESCR, 24 hours, 100°C)
- Inherently flame retardant with low smoke development and low smoke toxicity
- Excellent dimensional stability with low creep sensitivity, low and uniform coefficient of thermal expansion, and highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions.
Recommended print settings:
- Extruder: 340-390°C
