A specialty polymer portfolio built for high temperature and high performance.
Amorphous, transparent, with outstanding hydrolysis resistance.
Chemical and mechanical performance that survives the harshest environments.
Coloring high-temperature resins without compromising their properties.
Start from your service conditions. For each condition we list the grades we actually supply, with the reasoning behind the pick.
We start from the problem on your line, then narrow the grade. Pick your industry to see proven material combinations.
Holding properties through repeated steam sterilization and exposure to detergents and disinfectants
PPSU / PESU instrument trays and handles, plus ISO 10993-ready high-temperature colour
We recommend the optimal grade for your service conditions — heat, chemical exposure and mechanical demands.
Evaluation samples let you test quickly during the validation stage.
TDS, SDS and other technical files provided as required.
We work through moulding issues and production-stage troubleshooting with you.
Regulation and certification, new grades, and the technical detail that actually changes a material decision.
Pre-colored sulfone compounds that produce gold, silver and bronze metallic finishes straight out of the mould, removing the painting step along with its weight and VOC. Developed with BASF, they bring metallic-coloured Ultrason® grades to the market.
Common material selection questions.
PEEK is the leading choice. With a continuous use temperature of 260°C — and heat deflection temperatures above 315°C in glass-fibre reinforced grades — combined with excellent chemical resistance and retained mechanical properties, it is widely used to lightweight and replace metal components.
All three are amorphous sulfone polymers — transparent with excellent hydrolysis resistance. PSU offers the best cost-performance balance, PESU the highest heat resistance and stiffness, and PPSU the greatest impact toughness and repeated steam sterilization durability.
Yes. Ordinary masterbatches can shift colour or degrade properties at these processing temperatures, but Avient Colorant Chromatics™ colour solutions are developed specifically for PEEK and sulfone. Octud supplies resin and colour together so the material can be moulded directly as a pre-colored compound.
Octud is the official distributor of BASF Ultrason® sulfone polymers (PSU, PESU, PPSU) and the official Korean distributor of Joyrun PEEK, and also supplies Avient Colorant Chromatics™ high-temperature colour solutions.
Yes. We provide evaluation samples for validation projects and mould try-outs. Tell us your target grade and application and we will review the conditions with you.
