GEHR Plastics PPS Polyphenylene Sulfide
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
Material Notes:	The linear polyphenylene sulfide belongs to the semi-crystalline materials and offers a very high mechanical capacity, thermal and chemical resistance distinguished at the same time, high dimensional stability, and creep strength. The LOI belongs to the highest of polymers. By the reinforcement with glass polymers strength is achieved, which is comparable with light metal. PPS closes the gap between the technical synthetics and PEEK with its strength and economy. Properties very high strength and rigidity high hardness high thermostability high dimensional stability very high chemical resistance very good insulating properties high weather resistance high resistance to hydrolysis Applications include components in machine-making, pump parts, fan parts, impellers, parts in the fuel and automotive sector.
Vendors:	Ensinger High Performance Plastics withstand severe environments, resist harsh chemicals, and perform well in extreme temperatures. They offer weight savings that have potential to drive lower cost systems. Click here to view all available suppliers for this material.
