Product Description
PrimoSpire PR-250 resin is an injection molding grade of self-reinforced polyphenylene (SRP).

PrimoSpire SRP is an ultra-high performance amorphous, melt-processable polymer. The unique properties of this material are due primarily to the inherent rigid-rod structure. PrimoSpire SRP is differentiated from other thermoplastics by outstanding mechanical properties without fiber reinforcement, scratch resistance, excellent solvent resistance and exceptional low temperature performance. In addition, PrimoSpire SRP has great thermal stability, is non-combustible, has higher specific strength than many of the common structural materials and machines easily.

The outstanding mechanical, chemical, thermal and physical properties of PrimoSpire SRP make it the material of choice for a variety of applications including aircraft substructures, semiconductor components, bushings, bearings, and gears, light-weight vehicle suspensions systems and medical tubing and other devices.
