PSU 1000 Polysulfone (PSU) is an amber semi-transparent, heat-resistant, high performance engineering thermoplastic. It offers excellent mechanical, electrical and improved chemical resistance properties relative to polycarbonate. Polysulfone's properties remain relatively consistent over a broad temperature range, from -150°F (-100°C) to 300°F (100°C) but is not a wear material and may stress craze under high pressures in certain chemical environments.
PSU 1000 Polysulfone is hydrolysis resistant for continuous use in hot water and steam at temperatures up to 300°F. Its flame resistance is UL 94-V-0 at 1/4" thickness (6.35mm) and UL 94-V-2 at 1/8" thickness (3.175mm).
PSU 1000 Polysulfone offers high chemical resistance to acidic and salt solutions, and good resistance to detergents, hot water and steam. In addition, Polysulfone has excellent radiation stability, and offers low ionic impurity levels. PSU 1000 (Polysulfone) often replaces polycarbonate when higher temperatures, improved chemical resistance or auto-clavability is required.
Characteristics
• Broad temperature range capability, not a high pressure/stress material;
• Good thermal and electrical insulation characteristics;
• Hydrolysis resistant, radiation stability;
Industry Applications
It is commonly used for analytical instrumentation, medical devices and semi-conductor process equipment components.
