PPS Plastic Material

PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) is a high-performance thermoplastic that offers excellent chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, and exceptional dimensional stability. It is commonly used in demanding industrial applications where traditional plastics would fail.

Overview

PPS is a semi-crystalline, high-performance polymer that can be processed into a variety of forms, including injection-molded parts, extruded sheets, and films. Its excellent mechanical properties, combined with its superior chemical resistance, make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

Product Features

  • High temperature resistance up to 500°F (260°C)
  • Excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents
  • Low coefficient of thermal expansion
  • High dimensional stability and stiffness
  • Good electrical properties
  • FDA-compliant grades available for food contact applications

Applications

PPS is commonly used in the following industries:

  • Automotive: under-the-hood components, fuel system parts, and electrical connectors
  • Aerospace: interior components, structural parts, and fuel system parts
  • Electronics: circuit boards, connectors, and insulators
  • Industrial: pump and valve components, bearings, and gears
  • Food and beverage: processing and packaging equipment

Colors

PPS is available in a variety of colors, including natural (white), black, and custom colors.
