ZELLAMID® 2100 (Polyphenylsulfone) amber colour

PPSU is an amorphous high performance thermoplastic with very good mechanical, electrical and thermal properties for use at higher operating temperatures with low mechanical loads. ZELLAMID^® 2100 offers superior hydrolysis resistance when compared to other amorphous thermoplastics as measured by steam autoclaving cycles to failure. This makes it an excellent choice for medical devices. It also resists common acids and bases, including commercial washing solutions, over a broad temperature range. It withstands up to 210°C. Parts machined out of PPSU have very high dimensional stability. PPSU has better impact and chemical resistance than PSU and PEI and has virtually unlimited steam sterilizability.

Used in:

medical, pharmaceutical equipment, electronic, wastewater and water treatment.

Applications:
sterilization trays, dental and surgical instrument handles, endoscopic probe positioning ferrules, medical wands, fluid handling coupling and fitting applications, end caps, dental and surgical instrument handles.
