PSU 1000


 PSU 1000 is a slightly yellow, translucent [non-optical quality] amorphous thermoplastic material, offering a combination of excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. It often replaces polycarbonate whenever higher temperature resistance, improved chemical resistance or autoclavability are required.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS


- High maximum allowable service temperature in air [150 °C continuously] 

- Good hydrolysis resistance [suitable for repeated steam sterilisation] 

- High strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range 

- Good dimensional stability 

- Physiologically inert [suitable for food contact] 

- Very good resistance against high energy radiation [gamma- and X-rays] 

- Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties

Applications


- Commonly used in food processing equipment [milk machines, pumps, valves,  filtration plates, heat exchangers]

-  All kinds of components which are subjected to repeated cleaning and sterilisation
