Solve Heat & Chemical Challenges

Ideal when polycarbonate doesn’t meet heat, chemical, or sterilization demands.

Polysulfones such as PSU, PESU, and PPSU are amorphous resins famed for exceptional dimensional accuracy, high-temperature resilience, and clear flame retardancy.

Hydrolytically stable and steam-sterilizable, they are trusted across medical, electrical, and industrial applications.

  • Transparent and inherently flame-retardant
  • Resistant to chemicals, steam, and hydrolytic stress
  • Excellent electrical performance and dimensional stability
  • Ideal for repeated sterilization cycles – like steam autoclave setups
