SUMIKAEXCEL 5003P

Grade Information

SUMIKAEXCEL 5003P is a powder grade of polyethersulfone (PESU) modified with hydroxyl end groups. It is primarily used to dissolve or disperse in thermosetting resins such as epoxy resins.

Grade names and molecular weights are related, and SUMIKAEXCEL 5003P has the highest molecular weight among grades with hydroxyl end groups. There is also a correlation between molecular weight and solution viscosity.
