Product Description
Udel P-3700 HC is a high-clarity grade of polysulfone (PSU) that is nearly water-white in color. This grade was designed to eliminate the yellow cast and provide design flexibility and improved aesthetics for applications where a yellow cast is undesirable.

Compared to Udel P-1700, P-3700 HC has higher flow and a slightly greater tendency to stress crack in some aggressive environments.
