Solvay Advanced Polymers EpiSpire™ HTS-2600 High Temperature Sulfone Resin

Subcategory: Polysulfone; Thermoplastic

Material Notes:
EpiSpire HTS-2600 is a new high-temperature, high-performance, amorphous, sulfone polymer. This resin represents a technological breakthrough as it defines a new benchmark in amorphous thermoplastics thermal performance capabilities available to today’s design engineers. With a glass transition temperature of 265 °C and a heat deflection temperature of 255°C, EpiSpire HTS-2600 resin offers the highest glass transition of any fully thermoplastic resin on the market today.

In addition to this exceptional thermal performance, this resin has the other performance features and attributes traditionally known for sulfone polymers. These features include good strength, stiffness, and dielectric properties over a wide temperature range, resistance to hydrolysis by hot water and steam environments, excellent resistance to acids and bases, and inherent flammability resistance. The resin also offers a high degree of dimensional control during fabrication and dimensional stability during part service life.

EpiSpire HTS-2600 resin is easily amenable to fabrication by injection molding, extrusion and other thermoplastic fabrication techniques. By virtue of its very high temperature performance and the unique combination of other engineering attributes, EpiSpire HTS-2600 resin constitutes a good candidate for metal replacement as well as non-thermoplastic resin replacement in a wide range of engineering applications.

In its natural state, EpiSpire HTS-2600 resin is transparent with an amber/brown color.
