Description

PSU Extruded Natural Rod is a transparent yellow, amorphous thermoplastic with product characteristics including high rigidity even at high temperatures, good resistance to high energy radiation and outstanding hydrolysis-resistance. The long term service temperature range of PSU Rod is from -50°C to 160°C and has a short term maximum service temperature of 180°C. The physical properties remain virtually unchanged in a broad temperature and electrical frequency range.

Typical fields of application for PSU Rod include electrical and electronic industries, medical technology and household appliance industries. PSU Rod is a material well suited to billeting, precision grinding and CNC turning. Similar materials available from Plastock include PEI Extruded Natural Rod and PEEK 450G Extruded Natural Rod.

If you have a requirement for machined or finished PSU components please ask the Plastock team for more information.
