Polyphenylene Sulfide [PPS]

Techtron® PPS, a semi-crystalline polyphenylene sulfide, offers a balance of performance and cost, filling the gap between standard thermoplastics (such as PA, POM, PET) and high-performance engineering plastics like PBI, PI, PAI, and PEEK.

Grades

● Techtron® 1000 PPS

● Techtron® HPV PPS

  • Very high maximum allowable service temperature in air [220 °C continuously, up to 260 °C for short periods of time]
  • High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, also at elevated temperatures
  • Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
  • Very good dimensional stability
  • Excellent wear and frictional behavior [ Techtron® HPV PPS]
  • Physiologically inert [suitable for food contact]
  • Excellent resistance to high energy radiation [gamma- and X-rays]
  • Good UV-resistance
  • Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
  • Inherent low flammability
  • Above certain temperatures, the mechanical properties of Techtron® HPV PPS decrease significantly, and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion increases considerably.
  • Ketron® PEEK or Duratron® PAI may be more suitable alternatives in such conditions.
  • PPS can be used in a wide range of industrial equipment
  • Bearings and cylinders in industrial drying and food-processing ovens.
  • Pump, valve, and compressor components in chemical processing equipment, as well as electrical insulation systems and sliding parts.
