Injection Molding Grades

Standard non-reinforced grades and glass fiber reinforced grades are available, and functional grades such as sliding grades, high dimensional accuracy grades, and carbon fiber reinforced grades are also available. Functional grades are sold under the SUMIPLOY trademark.

Powder Grade

A variety of grades are available as powder grades having different values of RV (reduced viscosity), which is a guideline for molecular weight. The most appropriate grade may be selected to suit the particular application.
The following solvents can be used with PES : N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF) dimethyl acetamide, γ-butyrolactone, and a 50/50 (weight ratio) mixture of dichloromethane and 1,1,2 - trichloroethane.
