EDGETEK™ RA-10GF-10CF/000 HI

Avient's EDGETEK™ PPSU RA-10GF-10CF/000 HI is a glass fiber + carbon fiber reinforced polysulfone (PPSU) composite material. This material combines the inherent advantages of PPSU such as high-temperature resistance, flame retardancy, and hydrolysis resistance. At the same time, it introduces dual reinforcement of glass fiber and carbon fiber, significantly enhancing mechanical properties and structural stability. It is widely applicable to high-demand applications in electronics and electrical, automotive, medical, and industrial fields.
