Radel® R-5500 is a general-purpose lower flow grade of polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), which offers exceptional hydrolytic stability, and toughness superior to other commercially available, high-temperature engineering resins. This resin also offers high deflection temperatures and outstanding resistance to environmental stress cracking. Radel PPSU polymers are inherently flame retardant, provide excellent thermal stability and possess good electrical properties
