Application
Diphenyl sulfone, a crystalline powder soluble in organic solvents and found naturally in plants like Gnidia glauca and Dioscorea bulbifera, serves primarily as a high-temperature solvent. It plays a crucial role in processing highly rigid polymers such as PEEK, which require dissolution in very hot solvents. Its stability, both chemically and thermally, makes it preferable to other options like dimethyl sulfoxide, particularly in applications that demand robust performance under extreme conditions.
