Solvay Advanced Polymers EpiSpire™ HTS-2601 High Temperature Sulfone Resin

Subcategory: Polysulfone; Thermoplastic

Material Notes:
EpiSpire HTS-2601 is a new high-temperature high-performance amorphous sulfone polymer designed as a base resin for reinforced thermoplastic products. The 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 (HDT) of 255 °C, EpiSpire HTS-2601 offers the highest glass transition of any fully thermoplastic resin on the market today.

This exceptional thermal performance is available in EpiSpire HTS-2601 resin along with all 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.

HTS-2601 is a high flowing grade of EpiSpire HTS resin. It is easily amenable to fabrication by injection molding and other thermoplastic fabrication techniques. By virtue of its very high temperature performance and the unique combination of other engineering attributes, reinforced products based on EpiSpire HTS-2601 resin constitute good candidates for metal replacement as well as non-thermoplastic resin replacement in a wide range of engineering applications.

In its natural state, EpiSpire HTS-2601 resin is transparent with an amber/brown color.
