Description

Polyethersulfone, PES or PESU, is an amorphous and pale amber high-performance thermoplastic that has good transparency and inherently flame resistance, and it is one of the lowest smoke-emitting materials available. PES is known for its dimensional stability at high temperatures in both air and water. It also has good electrical properties, chemical resistance.

Features
  • Outstanding Creep Resistance up to 150°C in the long term.
  • Good Chemical Resistance：Highly resistant to acids, alkalis, oils, greases, and aliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols…
  • Good Optical Clarity
  • Very Good Hydrolytic & Sterilization Resistance
  • Excellent Electrical Insulation Properties
  • Outstanding Rigidity even at high temperatures.
Applications

battery caps, oil pumps, pump housing, oil control pistons, valve pistons, carburetor parts, bearing cages and ignition components, headlights, coil formers, gear pumps, plug-and-socket connectors, IC carry sockets, injection-molded printed circuit boards, parts for power circuit breakers, parts for power contactors and relays, sterilizing boxes, infusion equipment…
