PES (Radel A) Plastic Machining
Also called Radel A, PES is an amorphous thermoplastic. It boasts a high resistance to heat, combustion, and chemicals. This lightweight, dimensionally stable material is popular for pumps, valves, medical devices, and other applications. Radel A is well suited to harsh environments such as steam sterilization.
