PSU is an amorphous high-performance thermoplastic that delivers a well-balanced combination of thermal stability, chemical resistance, creep resistance and radiation resistance in a single material. Its characteristic translucency with a slight amber or yellowish tint is a distinguishing visual property that sets it apart from opaque high-performance plastics, and makes it particularly useful in applications where visual inspection of components, fluid levels or assembly conditions is required without compromising thermal or chemical performance.
PSU maintains its dimensional stability under sustained mechanical load better than many high-performance plastics at elevated temperatures, a property defined as creep resistance. This makes it a reliable choice for structural components that carry continuous load over long service periods.
PSU performs reliably in sterilization environments and is approved for direct food contact, which positions it as a practical choice across food handling equipment, laboratory instruments, medical devices and water filtration systems. It is supplied in sheets and round bars in standard stock in natural colour.

Custom cut to your exact dimensions from standard sheet or bar stock.
CNC-machined parts to your technical drawings. Suitable for filter housings, fluid handling components, laboratory instrument parts and food-contact structural components.
PSU is approved for direct food contact and is used for components in food processing equipment, fluid handling systems and food-contact structural parts where heat resistance, chemical resistance to cleaning agents and long-term dimensional stability are required.
Applied in laboratory instrument housings, fluid handling components and medical device parts where sterilization resistance, chemical compatibility and dimensional precision are required. PSU's translucency allows visual monitoring of fluid flow and component condition in laboratory assemblies.
Used for lightweight structural and insulating components in aerospace assemblies where a high-performance thermoplastic with stable properties across a range of temperatures and low flammability characteristics is required.
Applied in membrane housings, filter casings and water treatment system components where hydrolysis resistance, dimensional stability under sustained pressure and resistance to cleaning chemicals are required over long service intervals.
Components in sterilization equipment and autoclaving devices where repeated exposure to steam, hot water and sterilizing agents must be withstood without material degradation or dimensional change.
Used for structural and functional components in chemical processing where sustained load, chemical resistance and stable dimensions at elevated operating temperatures are simultaneously required.
