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 grade for your service conditions and, from your drawing, quote and supply finished parts with partner moulders and machinists.
Small evaluation quantities for validation, and key sulfone and PEEK grades shipped from stock held in Korea.
TDS, SDS and processing guides on request; our engineering team answers pricing and technical enquiries within 24 hours.
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.
BASF is extending its polyarylethersulfone family Ultrason® (PSU, PESU, PPSU) into electrical and electronic parts for AI data centres, high-speed connectivity and e-mobility — fibre-optic connectors, cable jacketing, magnet-wire insulation and thermal-management parts. What was announced, and what connector and electrical-component makers in Korea should check.
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 the official distributor of 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.
