TECAFIL PSU
TECAFIL PSU natural is a PSU filament that, like PPSU and PES, is classified in the group of polyphenylene sulfones and thus belongs to the high performance plastics. Its properties are similar to those of PPSU filament.
This PSU filament is heat resistant up to 160 °C (continuous service temperature) and is characterised by high toughness even at low temperatures. It also exhibits high creep resistance over a wide temperature range.
Like PEEK and PEI, PSU has been used in industry for many years, mainly for applications that require high durability and are exposed to high temperatures.
Therefore, PSU filament is often a cost-effective alternative to PEEK or PEI for less demanding environments. In contrast, it often replaces polycarbonates, especially at higher temperatures when some transparency is still required.
A PSU filament offers advantages in 3D printing due to low warpage.
The base polymer of this filament meets the requirements for food contact according to (EC) No 1935/2004, (EU) No 10/2011, (EC) No 2023/2006 and FDA. Legally binding documents must be requested separately.
