Polyether Sulfone (PES or PESU) is a high-temperature aromatic sulfone polymer that exhibits xceptional thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance properties. PES is part of the PAES (Poly Aryl Ether Sulfone) family of polymers, which includes PSU, PES, and PPSU. ThermaX PES is an amorphous polymer and has excellent dimensional stability and creep resistance.
PES has higher temperature resistance and toughness than Ultem 1010, offering the ability to print parts with higher mechanical properties at elevated temperature.

Benefits of ThermaX PES
- Very high thermal properties superior to Ultem 1010
- Excellent dimensional stability with low creep sensitivity, low and uniform coefficient of thermal expansion, and highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions.
- High Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR)
- Sterilization capable, including EtO gas, radiation, steam autoclaving, plasma, dry heat and cold sterilization
- Exceptional strength and modulus, even at elevated temperatures
- Resists most common automotive fluids including gasoline, antifreeze, transmission fluids, motor oils, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid (ESCR, 24 hrs, 100C)
- Inherently flame retardant with low smoke evolution and low smoke toxicity
