Material Notes:
Virantage® VW-10300 polyethersulfone (PESU) is a non-functionalized, high-temperature sulfone polymer powder. Two grades are offered: Virantage VW-10300P and Virantage VW-10300FP, providing two particle sizes to meet formulators' specific needs. Their inherent toughness imparts damage tolerance to thermoset composites. Virantage PESU polymers also offer superior thermal and hydrolytic stability that deliver best-in-class hot-wet performance. These amorphous thermoplastics may be used to toughen a variety of advanced thermoset composites used to produce high-performance aerospace components. Virantage PESU tougheners have been used successfully in a variety of thermosetting resin systems including epoxies, phenolics and BMIs. All Virantage PESU polymers are produced at Solvay's state-of-the-art, world-scale facility in Panoli, India under ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certified quality management systems.Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
