What is PPSU Plastic Material

In the realm of high-performance engineering plastics, Duradex® D3000 PPSU Plastic Material, with its exceptional thermal stability, hydrolysis resistance, and superior electrical properties, is an ideal material for the healthcare, food safety, and thin-walled product industries. As Solvay's flagship PPSU, D-3000 represents not only reliability and quality, but also industry innovation and breakthroughs in applications.

01 | Material highlights and characteristics

Duradex® D3000 incorporates characteristics such as stress crack resistance, corrosion resistance, excellent electrical performance and high flexural temperature in its material design, which enables it to maintain stable performance under high temperatures, strong stresses and harsh environments.

Its key highlights include:

  ・Thermal stability grade and hydrolysis resistance grade ensure that physical and chemical stability remains in long-term steam and hot water environments.
  ・Flame retardant performance (UL94 V-0), meeting high safety standards;
  ・Steam sterilization is compatible and can be repeatedly subjected to high-pressure sterilization without damaging the structure.
  ・Mechanical toughness and dimensional stability are particularly prominent in thin-walled applications.

These characteristics make Duradex® D3000 stand out among numerous PPSU plastic materials, becoming a comprehensive material that takes into account strength, toughness and safety.

02 | Multi-field applications

Thanks to its unique performance combination, the Duradex® D3000 is widely used in:

  ・Medical and health care field: baby bottles, medical device components, and care products that require frequent high-temperature disinfection;

  ・Food contact parts: Comply with food contact safety requirements and are suitable for products in repeatedly heated environments.

  ・Thin-walled applications: Achieving a balance between strength and fluidity to meet the requirements of lightweight and complex structure forming.

Whether it is the baby bottles used by infants and toddlers in daily life or the precision medical equipment, Duradex® D3000 PPSU plastic material can provide long-term reliable guarantee.

03 | Process technology and processing advantages

Duradex® D-3000 is provided in granular form and is suitable for injection molding processes, featuring excellent fluidity and processing stability. It is particularly friendly to the forming of thin-walled parts, not only reducing the processing difficulty but also improving production efficiency.

Meanwhile, the material has the following advantages in terms of processing degree:

  ・Low dimensional shrinkage rate ensures the consistency and accuracy of the products.

  ・The melt index is moderate, which not only ensures the processing speed but also takes into account the structural performance.

  ・High stress crack resistance reduces the risk of failure caused by internal stress after molding.

04 | Innovation and industry competitive advantage

Compared with traditional polycarbonate (PC) or PSU, the innovative advantage of Duradex® D3000 PPSU Plastic Material lies in:

  ・It performs better in terms of steam sterilization resistance and can withstand hundreds of high-pressure sterilization cycles.

  ・It has a high balance between mechanical and thermal properties and remains stable above 200℃.

  ・Widely certified, it complies with multiple international standards such as UL and IEC, and is suitable for the global market demand.

This gives it greater recognition and competitive advantages in the healthcare and food safety markets.
