What is LAPEX PPSU

The LATI LAPEX series PPSU (polysulfone) is widely used in electrical, medical, aviation and industrial fields due to its stable thermal performance, flame retardancy and excellent mechanical strength. This series includes three models: PPSU R, PPSU R G/10, and PPSU R G/20, covering different formulations from no glass fiber to 20% glass fiber reinforcement, to meet the differentiated requirements of purchasers for dimensional stability, strength and toughness.

01 | Common advantages of the LAPEX PPSU series

High flame retardancy: All pass UL94 V-0, with an oxygen index of 37 to 38%, suitable for scenarios with high safety requirements.

Uitstekende hittebestendigheid: The long-term service temperature can reach 190℃, the heat distortion temperature (1.8MPa) is approximately 205 to 210℃, and the maximum Vicat softening temperature is 220℃.

Low smoke and low toxicity: It maintains environmental protection and safety characteristics even at the flame retardant grade.

Stable dimensional performance: The shrinkage rate range is reasonable, suitable for injection molding of precision structural components.

Reliable electrical performance: Surface resistance of 10¹² Ω, meeting the insulation requirements of electronic and electrical appliances.

06 | Veelgestelde vragen (FAQ)

Q1: What are the main differences between PPSU R, R-GF10 and R-GF20?
A1: PPSU R is mainly characterized by toughness; R-GF10 balance of strength and toughness; The R-GF20 has the best rigidity and dimensional stability.

Q2: Which model is more suitable for medical or drinking water applications?
A2: PPSU R, due to its high toughness, low smoke and low toxicity, is suitable for repeated disinfection use.

Q3: Will adding glass fiber affect transparency?
A3: Yes. PPSU R has higher transparency, while R-GF10 and R-GF20 are opaque.

Q4: Are the heat resistance performances of the three models the same?
A4: All can withstand 190℃ for a long time, meeting the requirements of high-temperature and steam disinfection.
