Udel (PSU : Polysulfone)
Udel® polysulfone (PSU) is a rigid, high-strength, semi-tough, transparent plastic that offers higher heat resistance and better hydrolytic stability than polycarbonate (PC). It retains its good mechanical properties when exposed to steam and other sterilization techniques.
Udel® polysulfone excels in many fluid-handling applications and has successfully replaced brass in pressurized hot water applications for over 20 years. It exhibits low creep under a sustained load at elevated temperatures and can withstand continuous exposure to hot chlorinated water.
Key Features
· HDT of 174°C (345°F)
· High strength
· Good practical toughness
· Excellent hydrolytic stability
· Transparent
· Colorable
Typical Applications
· Faucet component
· Hot water fittings
· Plumbing manifolds
· Medical devices
· Membranes: Hemodialysis, Water treatment, Bioprocessing,
Food and beverage, Gas separation
