Made from UDEL®
polysulfone resin, these stock shapes remain stable, resisting creep and
deformation under continuous load and elevated temperatures. They have
high tensile strength and, as temperatures increase, flexural modulus
remains high. Thermalux products will withstand exposure to soap, detergent
solutions and some hydrocarbon oils, even at elevated temperatures under
moderate stress levels.
The
following physical property information is based on typical values of
the base polysulfone resin (PSU).
