UDEL P-3500 by Solvay Advanced Polymers is a PSU (Polysulfone) plastic material.
General Information
Product Description

UDEL P-3500 is a very high molecular weight grade of polysulfone well suited for fabrication either by solution or melt processes. Solution processing is used to prepare flat sheet and hollow-fiber membranes, coatings, and films. Melt processing techniques include extrusion, thermoforming, and blow molding.
Polysulfone is a tough, rigid, and transparent high-strength thermoplastic that is suitable for long-term use up to 300°F (149°C). It is resistant to oxidation and hydrolysis, and withstands prolonged exposure to high temperatures and repeated sterilization. UDEL P-3500 polysulfone is highly resistant to mineral acids, alkali, and salt solutions. Its resistance to detergents and hydrocarbon oils is also good. Contact with polar solvents such as ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons should be avoided as these types of chemical compounds can cause stress cracking or solvate polysulfone resin.
Polysulfone is highly resistant to degradation by gamma or electron beam radiation but can be adversely affected by long term exposure to ultraviolet. Electrical properties of the polymer are very stable over a wide range of temperatures and after immersion in water or exposure to high humidity.
The resin is very safe for food contact uses. It complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.1655 and may be used in articles intended for repeated use in contact with foods. Additionally, it is approved by the NSF, by the Department of
Agriculture for contact with meat and poultry, and the 3-A Sanitary Standards of the Dairy Association.
