Polysulfone (PSU)
PSU is a thermoplastic with high mechanical strength and stiffness. Its outstanding properties include high continuous service temperature and remarkably high creep resistance over a wide temperature range.
Due to its amorphous molecular structure, polysulfone is translucent and has a slight brownish transparency. High dimensional stability and very good hydrolysis resistance complete the picture.
Properties:
- high continuous operating temperature (160 °C)
- very good hydrolysis resistance (suitable for repeated steam sterilization)
- high toughness even at low temperatures
- high dimensional stability
- good electrical insulator
- high mechanical strength
- high stiffness
- high creep resistance over a wide temperature range
- good radiation resistance
Applications:
- Food Technology
- Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Vacuum Technology
- Medical Technology
- Automotive Industry
- Chemical Technology
- Precision Mechanics
- Transport and conveyor technology
