AKU®-TEC PPSU SOLID RODS or ROUND BARS

Polyphenylene sulfone is an amorphous material with improved chemical and hydrolysis resistance compared to PSU and PEI.
The extremely high notched impact strength is retained even after heat ageing.

PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) rods are high-quality plastic rods made from the polymer polyphenylsulfone.

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

PPSU rods are particularly suitable for applications that require extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals, such as in medical technology, the food industry and aerospace.

Due to their outstanding properties, PPSU rods offer a reliable and durable solution for demanding applications in various industries.

Polyphenylsulfone

PPSU is a high-performance thermoplastic that belongs to the polyarylsulfone family.

PPSU is characterized by a unique combination of outstanding mechanical, thermal and chemical properties.

Properties of PPSU:

High temperature resistance:
PPSU retains its mechanical properties at high temperatures, typically up to around 220°C. This makes it suitable for applications in environments with elevated temperatures.
Excellent chemical resistance:
PPSU is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases and various solvents.
High strength and rigidity:
PPSU has high mechanical strength and rigidity, which makes it suitable for structural applications and components with high loads.
Good impact strength:
Despite its rigidity, PPSU also has good impact strength, which makes it resistant to shocks and impacts.
Electrical insulation:
PPSU has excellent dielectric properties and is therefore often used in the electrical industry for insulators and other electrical components.
Flame retardant:
PPSU can have flame-retardant properties and therefore often meets fire protection standards.

Applications of PPSU:

PPSU is used in various industries for different applications, including

Medical technology: Sterilizable components, steam-sterilizable instruments, housings for medical devices due to its heat resistance and sterilizability.
Electronics industry: housings for electrical and electronic devices, insulators, connectors.
Aerospace: components for airplanes and spacecraft due to its high temperature resistance and strength.
Automotive industry: Parts that are exposed to high temperatures and mechanical loads, such as in the engine compartment.
Industrial applications: Pump and valve components, components for mechanical engineering, applications in corrosive environments.

PPSU is widely used in various demanding applications due to its impressive combination of properties.
