About Pexco
PSU Rods
Polysulfone (PSU) has one of the highest service temperatures among all melt-processable thermoplastics.
Its resistance to high temperatures gives it a role of a flame retardant, without compromising its strength, which often results from the addition of separate flame retardants. However, Polysulfone has low resistance to some solvents and undergoes weathering; this weathering instability can be offset by adding other materials into the polymer. Pexco is an expert manufacturer of PSU rod, tube, and profiles.
Polysulfone Tubing (PSU or PSF) is extruded using a strong, rigid, high performance thermoplastic with properties that remain stable over a wide temperature range from approximately minus 150° F to over 300° F. PSU plastic has excellent electrical and chemical resistant properties, which enable it to satisfy many high-heat, high-performance demands. Additionally, it is approved for food contact and potable water.
Pexco is a reliable source for the production of Polysulfone tubing. Our technicians are highly trained to produce quality PSU tube, rod, and profile products and take pride in being involved with some of the most challenging projects in the world.
