Performance Polymers
Ultrason® (PSU, PESU, PPSU) – The Specialty Plastic for High-quality Parts
Ultrason® is especially designed for applications that require high heat resistance ‒ it always keeps stiffness and dimensional stability even when used at very high temperatures. Its extraordinary property profile allows all Ultrason® grades to be molded into high-quality, highly stressed parts for high-performance applications in a lot of industries.
Ultrason® E, S, P (PESU, PSU, PPSU)
The Ultrason® resins are amorphous thermoplastics derived from polyethersulfone (PESU), polysulfone (PSU) and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) and offer very high resistance to heat. Their wide spectrum of beneficial properties allows them to be molded into high-quality parts for household and catering gear, membrane filtration, automotive as well as E&E applications. They can be processed by almost all the techniques adopted for thermoplastics.
The key features of Ultrason® are:
• Temperature-independent properties
• Very high long-term service temperatures
• Good dimensional stability
• Excellent stiffness
• Very good mechanical strength
• High transparency: honey-colored tint
• Good electrical insulation properties
• Favorable dielectric properties
• Very good fire behavior
• Excellent hydrolysis and chemical resistance
Ultrason® can be successfully used for applications in which other plastics, e. g. polyamide, polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene and polyalkylene terephthalates, fail to meet the requirements. By virtue of their extraordinary versatility, Ultrason® resins can substitute thermosets, metals and ceramics in a lot of industries.

New: Avient and BASF collaborate to bring colored Ultrason® to the global market for high-performance polymers
Avient Corporation and BASF are now collaborating to offer colored grades of Ultrason® high-performance polymers to the global market. The colored grades feature BASF’s Ultrason® polyarylethersulfones (PAES) as high-quality base polymer combined with Avient’s Colorant Chromatics™ high-temperature color formulation expertise for color concentrates and pre-colored solutions.
The collaboration will give customers in industries such as household and catering, electrical & electronics (E&E), and healthcare a distinctive benefit by providing comprehensive technical support from the base polymer to the final-colored product. As a result, customers will be able to
- react more quickly to design trends
- meet technical requirements as well as color standards
- thereby increase speed to market.
