Polysulfone, commonly known as PSU, is a high-performance thermoplastic material that offers exceptional thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties. It is a transparent, amorphous polymer with excellent heat resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications where strength and durability are required.

PSU finds applications in various industries due to its outstanding properties. It is widely used in the medical field for manufacturing surgical instruments, medical device components, and dental tools because of its biocompatibility and sterilization resistance. PSU is also utilized in the aerospace industry for producing aircraft interior components, such as cabin interiors, seat frames, and tray tables, due to its lightweight nature and flame retardancy. Additionally, PSU is employed in the electronics industry for manufacturing connectors, insulators, and other electrical components.

PSU offers several advantages over other materials. It has excellent heat resistance, allowing it to maintain its structural integrity and mechanical properties at high temperatures, up to 180°C (356°F). PSU also exhibits exceptional chemical resistance, making it resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents. Furthermore, PSU has good dimensional stability and low moisture absorption, ensuring its performance and shape integrity over time.

PSU demonstrates excellent performance characteristics. It has high tensile and flexural strength, providing durability and resistance to deformation. PSU also exhibits excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures, making it suitable for applications where mechanical stress is present. Additionally, PSU has good electrical insulation properties and low dielectric loss, making it suitable for electrical and electronic applications.

PSU extrusion allows for customization based on specific requirements. Different grades of PSU can be extruded to achieve desired properties such as enhanced heat resistance, improved chemical resistance, or increased impact strength. Extruded PSU profiles can be produced in different lengths, thicknesses, and shapes to meet specific design needs. Although PSU is typically transparent, it can also be customized with additives to achieve various colors and opacities.
