Wide range of Application :

1. It is suitable for making heat-resistant parts, insulating parts, wear-reducing and wear-resistant parts, instrumentation parts and medical equipment parts. Polyarylsulfone is suitable for making low-temperature working parts.
2. Polysulfone is commonly used in the electronic and electrical industry to manufacture integrated circuit boards, coil tube frames, contactors, sleeve frames, capacitor films, and high-performance alkaline battery casings.
3. Polysulfone is used in household appliances for microwave oven equipment, coffee heaters, humidifiers, hair dryers, cloth steamers, beverage and food dispensers, eating and drinking tableware, water cups, milk bottles, etc. It can also replace non-ferrous metals for precision structural parts such as clocks, copiers, and cameras.
4. Polysulfone has passed the relevant specifications in the fields of medicine and food in the United States, and can replace stainless steel products. Due to the characteristics of polysulfone, such as steam resistance, hydrolysis resistance, non-toxicity, high temperature steam sterilization resistance, high transparency, and good dimensional stability, it can be used as surgical tool trays, sprayers, fluid controllers, heart valves, pacemakers, gas masks, Braces, etc.
Because PPSU is a safe material, it does not contain endocrine-disrupting carcinogenic chemicals (environmental hormone: bisphenol A), and as a material with excellent heat resistance, the heat-resistant temperature is as high as 207 degrees. Because it can be boiled repeatedly at high temperature, it can be sterilized by steam. It has excellent drug resistance and acid and alkali resistance, and can withstand general liquid medicine and detergent cleaning without chemical changes. Lightweight and drop-resistant, it is the best in terms of safety, temperature resistance, hydrolysis resistance and impact resistance. But the price is relatively expensive
