PPSU vs. Unfilled PPS
Both PPSU and unfilled PPS are thermoplastics. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is PPSU and the bottom bar is unfilled PPS.
