Tepla® PPSU is a new type of thermoplastic non-crystalline material. Compared with PSU, Tepla® PPSU does not contain endocrine disrupting carcinogenic chemicals (environmental hormones: bisphenol A). It is not toxic and can endure repetitive high-temperature sterilizations. Because of its applaudable heat resistance and non-toxic property, it can be used for producing food containers and medical equipment, such as baby bottles and medical equipment requiring high-temperature sterilization. Secondly, Tepla® PPSU also has outstanding resistance to drugs, acid and alkali, so it can be cleaned with general medicinal liquids and detergents without producing chemical reactions. Without doubts, Tepla® PPSU is one of the most ideal materials in terms of safety, low specific gravity, unbreakable property after a fall, and heat, hydrolysis and shock resistance.
