Mitsubishi Chemical Launches NU-Range PMUC-Qualified Nuclear Polymers
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials (MCAM) has introduced its NU-range, a standardized product designation for PMUC-qualified polymers intended for nuclear power applications. The new line aims to provide clearer traceability and simplified integration with utility systems.
“NU” indicates materials fully compliant with PMUC (Produits et Matériaux Utilisables en Centrale Nucléaire) standards, criteria set by EDF (Électricité de France) for polymers used in safety-sensitive nuclear plant environments.
Key features of the NU-range include:
- Unambiguous product designation to distinguish nuclear-rated grades
- Enhanced traceability and documentation across the supply chain
- Compliance with evolving nuclear material standards per recent EDF revisions
- Certification with relevant quality controls and conformity certifications per order (e.g., EN 10204-type documentation)

Some examples of NU-range materials now available include:
- Ketron™ 1000 NU (PEEK)
- Ertalyte™ NU (PET)
- Ertacetal™ C NU (POM-C)
- Ertalon™ 6 NU (PA6)
- TIVAR™ 1000 NU (UHMW-PE)
- PE 500 NU (HMW-PE)
By transitioning to NU designations, MCAM and its partners are aligning product lines with nuclear facility asset management systems, potentially helping utilities reduce specification ambiguity and prevent misapplication of materials.bility makes ASTARIGLAS® DN ideal signage in retail, hospitality, transportation hubs and public spaces. www.mcam.com/en
