AKU®TEC PSU SOLID RODS or ROUND BARS

Polysulfones have good heat distortion and heat aging resistance (-100°C to +160°C).
PSU has high hardness and strength, very good resistance to hydrolysis and high radiation resistance.
However, it is sensitive to notching.

PSU (polysulfone) rods are high-quality plastic rods made from the polymer polysulfone.

They are characterized by their exceptional combination of heat resistance, mechanical strength and chemical resistance.

PSU rods are particularly suitable for applications that require extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals, such as in medical technology, electronics and food processing.

Thanks to their outstanding properties, PSU bars offer a reliable and durable solution for demanding applications in various industries.

Polyphenylsulfone

PSU for short, is a thermoplastic high-performance plastic that belongs to the group of polyarylsulfones.
PSU is characterized by a combination of various outstanding properties.

Properties of PSU:

High temperature resistance:
PSU retains its mechanical properties at high temperatures up to around 180°C, making it suitable for applications in environments with elevated temperatures.
Good chemical resistance:
PSU is resistant to many chemicals, including acids, bases and various solvents.
Electrical insulation:
PSU has excellent dielectric properties and is therefore often used in the electrical industry for insulators and other electrical components.
Flame retardant:
PSU can have flame-retardant properties, which makes it suitable for applications with high fire protection requirements.
Good mechanical strength:
PSU exhibits good strength, stiffness and impact resistance, making it suitable for structural applications.
Transparent:
PSU can be transparent and retains its clarity even at higher temperatures, making it attractive for optical applications.

Applications of PSU:

PSU is used in various industries, including:

Electronics industry: housings for electrical and electronic devices, connectors and insulators.
Medical technology: instruments, sterilization containers, and housings for medical devices due to its resistance to sterilization processes.
Aerospace: Components for airplanes and spacecraft due to its high temperature resistance.
Automotive industry: Components for motors, housings for electrical components and parts exposed to high temperatures.
Industrial applications: Pump and valve components, machine components, and applications in aggressive environments due to its chemical resistance.

PSU is widely used in demanding environments due to its thermal stability, chemical resistance and mechanical strength.
