Polymer Type
Thermoplastic

Advantages
Good high temperature performance UL continuous rating of 150°C (300°F). Transparent. Good high frequency electrical properties. Good resistance to ionising radiation. Resistant to hydrolysis.

Disadvantages
Susceptible to stress cracking in certain solvents. Poor tracking resistance. Poor weathering properties.

Applications
Medical components (sterilising trays, suction bottles, respirators). Food processing (filter bowls, microwave cookware, parts for milking machines). Electrical and electronics (bobbins, switch housings switch housings, capacitor film). Engineering (valve bodies, under-bonnet components, housings).
