PESU

Polyethersulphone

PES (PESU) has the highest thermal stability of the sulphones with a 225 °C glass transition; it is amorphous, transparent and flame retardant. Creep under load is very low and it resists hot water and some fuels. It is used in membranes, composite matrices, lamp components and electrical parts in hot environments.

Price and lead time are given in the quotation according to quantity and delivery terms; there is no list price on the site.

Overview

PESU is the standard grade of the PES / PESU family in the high-performance plastics group. It is used in applications such as membranes and filtration products, electrical parts in hot environments, lamp and lighting reflectors. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Membranes and filtration products
  • Electrical parts in hot environments
  • Lamp and lighting reflectors
  • Aerospace composite matrix

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PESU are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
