Polysulfone (PSU) Injection Molding

Polysulfone or PSU is a durable, rigid thermoplastic that can withstand use at high temperatures

Polysulfone is an amorphous thermoplastic with natural transparency. In most cases the plastic is suitable for continuous use up to 149°C (300°F). PSU is also resistant to degradation by gamma or electron beam radiation.

We offer two grades of PSU through our injection molding service:

Udel P-1700: High resistance to mineral acids, alkali and salt solutions. It also possesses good resistance to detergents and hydrocarbon oils.

Udel P-3703: A high-flow grade of PSU that fills thin walls well. Can be more susceptible to cracking than P-1700 when in harsh environments.
