What is Polyphenylene Sulfide Thermoplastic Material?
PPS is a semi-crystalline, high-performance thermoplastic engineering resin. Due to its inherent brittleness, PPS must be reinforced with glass or carbon fibers and fillers. Various fillers and reinforcements make a difference in strength, surface properties, dimensional stability, electrical properties and overall cost. Because flame retardance is inherent in PPS, recycled materials are as flame resistant as the original version. Polyphenylene Sulfide Plastic Properties PPS performs well in consistent elevated temperature conditions at approximately 230°C. In short-term durations, PPS exhibits heat deflection temperatures of 500°C or higher. Other properties include low temperature endurance, good chemical resistance, and flame retardance. Mechanical properties of PPS can be tailored for specific applications. The right formulation is achieved by altering the degree of crystallinity in the custom molded part or component. Advantages of Polyphenylene Sulfide Plastic Include: • High tem
