| PrimoSpire PR-120 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 without fiber reinforcement, scratch resistance, excellent solvent resistance, and exceptional low temperature performance. In addition, PrimoSpire PR-120 SRP has great thermal and thermal-oxidative stability and it is noncombustible. The specific strength of PrimoSpire PR-120 SRP exceeds many of the materials commonly encountered in structural applications. The resin also possesses excellent machinability permitting fabrication of parts such as fasteners to tolerances of less than one mil (0.025 mm). The excellent mechanical, chemical, thermal, and physical properties of PrimoSpire PR-120 SRP make it the material of choice for a variety of applications including aircraft substructures, semiconductor components, gears, light-weight vehicle suspensions systems, medical tubing and other medical devices.
