Product Description

Comments & Reviews

Veradel® AG-320 is a 20% glass fiber reinforced grade of polyethersulfone (PESU). Adding glass fiber to polyethersulfone substantially increases the rigidity, tensile strength, creep resistance, dimensional stability and chemical resistance of the material, while maintaining most of its other basic characteristics. The combination of structural properties and cost effectiveness make this resin an attractive alternative to metals in many engineering applications. This grade was formerly marketed as Radel® A PESU.
