Product Description
Acudel 22000 is a modified polyphenylsulfone. It is a high-heat, high-performance resin formulation exhibiting very good hydrolytic stability, excellent resistance to acids and bases and good resistance to stress cracking under a broad range of chemical environments. In addition, Acudel 22000 resin exhibits robust toughness and improved notch resistance compared to both Udel® polysulfone and Veradel® polyethersulfone, although slightly lower than that of neat Radel® polyphenylsulfone. In general, the performance profile of Acudel 22000 resin falls between polysulfone and polyphenylsulfone.

In addition to its high mechanical and thermal performance attributes, Acudel 22000 resin also offers very good electrical properties over a broad temperature range as well as inherent flame retardancy.
