General Info
SUSTASON PSU (Polysulfone) is a semi-transparent amorphous thermoplastic with an amber tint. It is often chosen in more demanding applications to replace polycarbonate when improved chemical or higher temperature resistance is required by the application. SUSTASON PSU can be used continuously in hot water and steam sterilization and has excellent chemical resistance to acidic salt solutions.
Note: Not all Udel® shapes are certified to USP Class VI. If your application requires certification to USP Class-VI, it must be specified at the time of quotation and before order placement.
