PrimoSpire Self-Reinforced Polyphenylene
“Click” on the above link to a pdf Data Sheet on Solvay Advanced polymers material.
Solvays PrimoSpire PR120 has been out for a little while but not many people know about it. What was interesting and notable to me about this material was it’s self-reinforced properties. According to Solvay ” PrimoSpire PR120 self-reinforced polyphenylene (SRP) is an ultra-high performance amorphous, melt processable engineering thermoplastic. The unique properties of this material are due primarily to the inherent rigid-rod structure. PrimoSpire SRP is differentiated from other thermoplastics by outstanding mechanical properties with-out fiber reinforcement, scratch resistance, excellent solvent resistance, and exceptional low temperature performance.”
Some of the properties that stood out to me initally were its high tensile strength (30,000psi) , which are properties that usually require Glass or Carbon Fiber in a neat resin to produce! It has an “HDT” of 309F @ 264psi, Glass transition temp of 316F, LOI @ 49% and UL94 V-O @.010″ thick.
