Product Description
Udel GF-120, resin is a 20% glass fiber reinforced polysulfone compound. Glass fiber substantially increases the rigidity, tensile strength, creep resistance, dimensional stability and chemical resistance of the polysulfone resin. The high performance properties and attractive price make these resins particularly effective alternatives to metals in many engineering applications.
