PSU 1000

PSU 1000 is a translucent (non-optical quality) amorphous thermoplastics
material, offering a combination of excellent mechanical, thermal and
electrical properties. It often replaces polycarbonate whenever higher
temperature resistance, improved chemical resistance or autoclavability is
required.

PSU 1000 is commonly used in food processing equipment (milk machines,
pumps, valves, filtration plates, heat exchangers), for analytical
instrumentation and all kinds of components which are subjected to repeated
cleaning and sterilisation.

Common Uses for PSU 1000

PSU 1000 Medical Carrier Part

Cleaning aluminium parts was tedious and costly. Parts fabricated from PSU
1000 easily replaced ineffective aluminium. The PSU 1000 parts were able to
be steam cleaned and more easily dealt with laboratory chemicals and
radiation.

PSU 1000 Dialysis Equipment

Smaller and lighter equipment is being requested from medical device
designers. PSU 1000 replaced the stainless steel parts used on early
designs. PSU 1000 is nearly 7 times lighter than stainless steel. The
plastic material easily withstands repeated autoclave cycles.
