LATI LASULF Polysulfone (PSU)

Subcategory: Polysulfone; Thermoplastic

Material Notes:
Description: Lasulf products are composed of polysulfone (PSU). They feature good thermal and mechanical properties such as excellent toughness, even at low temperatures, excellent dimensional stability low water absorption and exceptional resistance to hydrolysis allow their application also in case of very hot water. Reinforced Lasulfs are among the few thermoplastics guaranteeing good mechanical properties even at high temperatures. Resistance to creep is excellent, thermal resistance is outstanding: continuous no-load working temperature can reach 160°C (200°C for short periods of time). The Lasulfs are self-extinguishing without adding flame retardants.

Specific Notes for this Material: low fume optical density and toxicity; transparent, but slightly coloured; low flowability; excellent surface finish.
