Performance Polymers

Ultrason® (PSU, PESU, PPSU) – The Specialty Plastic for High-quality Parts

Ultrason® is especially designed for applications that require high heat resistance ‒ it always keeps stiffness and dimensional stability even when used at very high temperatures. Its extraordinary property profile allows all Ultrason® grades to be molded into high-quality, highly stressed parts for high-performance applications in a lot of industries.

Ultrason® E, S, P (PESU, PSU, PPSU)

The Ultrason® resins are amorphous thermoplastics derived from polyethersulfone (PESU), polysulfone (PSU) and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) and offer very high resistance to heat. Their wide spectrum of beneficial properties allows them to be molded into high-quality parts for household and catering gear, membrane filtration, automotive as well as E&E applications. They can be processed by almost all the techniques adopted for thermoplastics.

The key features of Ultrason® are:

• Temperature-independent properties
• Very high long-term service temperatures
• Good dimensional stability
• Excellent stiffness
• Very good mechanical strength
• High transparency: honey-colored tint
• Good electrical insulation properties
• Favorable dielectric properties
• Very good fire behavior
• Excellent hydrolysis and chemical resistance

Ultrason® can be successfully used for applications in which other plastics, e. g. polyamide, polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene and polyalkylene terephthalates, fail to meet the requirements. By virtue of their extraordinary versatility, Ultrason® resins can substitute thermosets, metals and ceramics in a lot of industries.

Ultrason® grades are amorphous thermoplastics derived from polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PESU) and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU). These are the most important grades:

The range chart lists the technical data of the most important grades:

Ultrason® can be processed by all the known techniques adopted for thermoplastics, the most important of which are injection molding and extrusion.

Hints for processing can be found in the product brochure and in the brochure on injection molding:

Ultrason® for household and catering: stylish, durable and safe

Ultrason® is the ideal material for stylish, durable and safe applications in the household, catering and food packaging sectors. The transparent, high-temperature resistant Ultrason® grades keep their excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range. Because of its unique property profile Ultrason® offers great design freedom, can easily be colored and substitutes glass, metal, ceramic and porcelain. It also contributes to a sustainable lifestyle and circular economy: plates, trays, mugs, bottles and many more household and catering articles made of Ultrason® can be reused many times without loss in mechanical properties and design – the best choice for many to-go applications and multi-cycle food packaging systems!
