There are some industries that require the usage of plastics with great heat resistance of high temperatures. Radel is a material that can withstand high temperatures and can be exposed to repeated beating. Often it can be subjected to harsh conditions used in the most challenging applications. The material works really well for those applications which require frequent sterilization and cleaning. It provides extreme toughness and shield to the most violent of operations. These can be effectively used in those areas where resistance to extreme levels of heat and abuse is apparent.
The temperature at which this material deflects is 405 degrees. This essentially means that it can quite easily bear the exposure to very high heat conditions without any alteration to its physical and chemical composition. The material does not crack or break even if it is continuously treated to harsh chemicals and heat. The plastic is naturally flame resistant and is tough to melt if exposed to outbursts of fire for a shorter time.
Hence this product is of utmost necessity when the need arises to withstand high and extreme conditions of heat and treatment like sterilization and washing. Some such applications where this plastic is used for optimum performances are food service trays, cookware, hot beverage stuffs, coatings, composites, dental equipments, wires and cable installation, interiors of aircraft, plumbing fittings, medical devices, to name a few.
It can be efficiently used for medical purposes especially in spinal surgical trays. The material can bear multiple sterilizations, a number of times without causing any effect to its composition and structure. The transparent nature of the plastic is great to provide a clear and distinct view of anything inside it. Even as a coating to various equipments, which is subjected to extreme conditions, works well when applied with this material.
