Polysulfone

cnc machined polysulfone parts

Polysulfone is a high-performance amorphous thermoplastic material that is used in numerous industries due to its ability to perform under high temperatures and maintain its mechanical properties while under stress. Polysulfone (PSU) also offers great chemical resistance coupled with excellent resistance to creep over a wide range of temperatures.

With PSU being an amorphouse material, it is transparent and typically has a brownish amber apperance. PSU also has excellent dimensional stability as well as hydrolysis resistance. Polysulfone is suitable for repeated steam sterilization.

Common applications include:

  • Electronics: Used in coils, connectors, and sockets
  • Food Technology: Food processing equipment
  • Medical: Various medical instrumentation due to its ability to withstand sterilization
