Thermalux® PESU
Thermalux® Polyethersulfone (PESU) is made from resin that is suitable for use in certain food contact applications, contact your local Westlake Plastics representative for specific regulatory declarations. Thermalux is an amber colored, semi-transparent, high performance engineering thermoplastic. Thermalux® PESU combines good chemical resistance with a high heat deflection temperature (204°C / 399°F), making it an excellent choice for food service applications. This resin is also inherently flame retardant making it suitable for use in electronic components.
