Lakeland Plastics manufactures high-quality PSU extrusions engineered for exceptional heat resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term performance in demanding industrial and medical applications.
PSU, or polysulfone, is a high-performance amorphous thermoplastic known for its outstanding thermal stability, strength, and resistance to chemicals and hydrolysis. Frequently used in demanding extrusion applications, PSU maintains its mechanical properties under continuous high temperatures and repeated sterilization cycles, making it ideal for medical, laboratory, food processing, and industrial environments. Its combination of rigidity, dimensional stability, and electrical insulating properties allows PSU extrusions to perform reliably where standard thermoplastics may fail.
Polysulfone (PSU) is an engineered thermoplastic polymer composed of aromatic rings linked by sulfone groups. This molecular structure gives PSU exceptional heat resistance, toughness, and long-term dimensional stability. Unlike many commodity plastics, PSU can withstand continuous exposure to elevated temperatures while maintaining strength and rigidity. It also offers excellent resistance to hydrolysis, allowing it to endure repeated steam sterilization and hot-water exposure without significant degradation. These characteristics make PSU a trusted material for precision extrusion applications in highly regulated and performance-driven industries.
At Lakeland Plastics, custom PSU extrusion is focused on delivering high-performance solutions for applications where heat resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term durability are critical. PSU’s ability to withstand repeated sterilization, elevated temperatures, and harsh industrial environments makes it an excellent choice for demanding medical, laboratory, electrical, and industrial components. While PSU is ideal for many high-temperature and chemically demanding applications, we also offer a broad range of thermoplastics to ensure the best material solution for your project requirements.
Lakeland Plastics provides comprehensive PSU extrusion capabilities supported by advanced production equipment, in-house tooling, and experienced engineering expertise. Because PSU requires precise processing control and elevated extrusion temperatures, our team focuses on maintaining dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and consistent performance throughout production. Our PSU extrusion capabilities include:
With 12 production lines, advanced cooling and sizing systems, and strict quality control procedures, Lakeland Plastics supports everything from prototype development to high-volume production. Every PSU extrusion is manufactured to deliver dependable dimensional stability, long-term durability, and reliable performance in demanding operating environments.
Friendly people quick loading and overnight parking if your in a pinch at the dock I’d suggest call ahead
Just delivered. The guy that unloaded me was awesome. In and out in 15 minutes. Give that man a raise!
I met with Lakeland Plastics this week. They were very professional to meet with. They were generous with their time and were helpful educating me on the plastics industry. While we weren’t a fit for each other in this instance , I can tell that anyone looking for extrusions would be in great hands. I appreciate the referrals and care they provided me.
Great company to work with, they hold a high standard of quality in the work they do with great communications!
We initially faced challenges with a product that required one side to be white and the other black. The previous process involved painting one side, which was time-consuming and resulted in inconsistent quality. However, discovering Lakeland Plastics was a game-changer for us. Their ability to extrude with one side white and the other black not only eliminated the need for painting but also improved our product quality tenfold.
The team at Lakeland Plastics has been outstanding. Mary at the front desk is a true jack-of-all-trades, always providing the answers we need quickly and efficiently. Mike, the owner, and our salesperson, Phil, along with the entire shipping department, have been incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our partnership.
We highly recommend Lakeland Plastics for their innovative solutions and exceptional customer service.
We have a 40+ year business relationship with Lakeland Plastics. They are a key business partner offering excellent products, communication, and service.
Lakeland Plastics have really exceeded our expectations. Quality work and precise production have helped my buisiness keep moving forward. I highly recommend this company to anyone for any quality product/profile they may need.
Preferential treatment is the standard for all customers at Lakeland, allowing a level playing field for everyone involved. They have worked with us for over 10 years, helping to develop a patented product and providing outstanding customer service throughout. It has been an absolute delight working with honest and caring individuals who not only work toward getting things right the first time, but they work tirelessly at making sure goals are met. We consider Lakeland part of the family, and we highly recommend their attention to detail, top level customer service and exemplary design team.
Lakeland has been arguably one of the best manufacturers I have ever worked with. I came to them with a unique extrusion use case and they were able to help with my design. They managed the project with zero friction, or high added costs. The part quality is quite honestly flawless, meeting my specific use case need. The accessibility to the team is always easy and prompt. I didn’t wait days, or weeks for quotes and was able to get my product produced and to the market in a much shorter time frame than several other mfg’s I contacted quoted. Now my product is sold in over 40 states and two countries and proudly produced in the USA. I know this is a long post and I don’t usually do reviews. However, while I maybe a small fish compared to some of their production levels/ capabilities…..my involvement with Lakeland has felt more like family than being just a number on the balance sheet. They will have my business as long as my industry need exists. Hopefully a very long time. So grateful I found this needle in a hay stack. Especially if it is an extruded product you need….highly recommend giving them a shot.
“We’ve had a long-standing partnership with Lakeland Plastics to support building our OTTOLOCK cinch lock bands. Our specifications are not simple and the Lakeland team has consistently demonstrated they are up for the job with a great approach to making the outcome better.

Plastic extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process known for producing continuous, uniform plastic products. A key factor in its success is the design and tooling involved in shaping raw plastic into finished products. It rewards designs that are built with how material actually flows, cools, and stabilizes in mind. When design and tooling are aligned…
Plastic extrusion plays an important role in modern manufacturing. Custom plastic profiles are used in everything from construction materials and industrial equipment to medical devices and consumer products. These components often appear simple, but their performance depends heavily on material selection, profile design, and production consistency. Because of this, the manufacturer behind those parts matters…
What if a single plastic profile could behave like two different materials at once? Imagine a component that carries structural loads, resists ultraviolet exposure, absorbs impact, and seals against moisture all within one continuous shape. No secondary bonding or added assembly, and without the need to compromise between strength and flexibility. For decades, manufacturers had…
