Ultrafuse® PPSU

With its wide spectrum of material performance advantages, Ultrafuse® PPSU can be successfully used in applications where other plastics, e.g. polyamide, polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene and polyalkylene terephthalates, fail to meet the performance specifications. With its inherent flame-retardant properties, it is an especially suitable material for the aerospace industry.
