Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)
FDM Thermoplastic
Resistant to Heat and Chemicals.
PPSU (also known as PPSF) offers elevated properties compared with commodity plastics. It is stronger than polycarbonate but its more notable features include heat and chemical resistance. This makes it a good choice for demanding applications exposed to oils, gas and acids. PPSU can also be sterilized via steam, autoclave, plasma, chemical and radiation methods.
