Overview
Radel R® is a high temperature thermoplastic material with outstanding impact resistance.
Radel R® is resistant to hot water and steam and can withstand repeated cycles in a steam autoclave.
Radel R® is often used instead of polysulfone or Ultem® for medical applications when superior toughness or extended service life with repeated autoclave cycles is desired.
