High-Performance Polymers
4 high-performance polymers grades for medical device and engineered plastics applications. Each page includes grade codes, datasheet properties, applications, and a one-click sample request.
- Radel R-5500 PPSU
Grade: R-5500
Polyphenylsulfone built for repeat steam sterilization, surviving 1000+ autoclave cycles without the crazing that limits polycarbonate. The default for reusable surgical instrument trays and handles.
Autoclave durableHydrolytically stableTough - Udel P-1700 PSU
Grade: P-1700
Transparent amber polysulfone offering autoclavability at a lower cost than PPSU. Widely used in dialyzer housings and reusable devices that need heat resistance with some optical transparency.
AutoclavableTransparentHeat resistant - VESTAKEEP i4 G
Grade: i4 G
Implant-grade PEEK supplied with a long-term implant master file. Higher viscosity than ZA-500, favoured where machined stock and extruded profiles are the conversion route rather than molding.
ImplantableMachinableAutoclave durable - Zeniva ZA-500 PEEK
Grade: ZA-500
Implantable-grade PEEK with a modulus close to cortical bone, supported by a full long-term implant biocompatibility dossier. The reference material for spinal fusion cages and load-bearing implants.
ImplantableBone-like modulusRadiolucent
