English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
CONT

Polyethersulfone is a new high-temperature engineering thermoplastic with an outstanding long-term resistance to creep at temperatures up to 150°C. It is also capable of being used continuously under load at temperatures of up to about 180°C and, in some low-stress applications, up to 200°C. ... While the sulfone group confers high-temperature performance, the ether linkage contributes toward practical processing by allowing mobility of the polymer chain when in the melt phase. ... Polyethersulfone is especially resistant to acids, alkalies, oils, greases, and aliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols. It is attacked by ketones, esters, and some halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons.

CONT

Polyether Sulfone. This resin is a new high-temperature polymer capable of continuous use at 180°C and in low-stress applications at 200°C. ... The material is self-extinguishing and emits little smoke. It is used in lamp sockets, gearboxes, dryers, irons, heaters, and aircraft components.
