Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a semicrystalline material. It offers an excellent balance of properties, including high temperature resistance, chemical resistance, flowability, dimensional stability and electrical characteristics. PPS must be filled with fibers and fillers to overcome its inherent brittleness.
Because of its low ionic impurities, PPS is an excellent choice for applications where high purity is a concern. Most commonly, it is used for:
- Coal boilers.
- Papermaking felts.
- Electrical insulation.
- Film capacitors.
- Specialty membranes.
- Gaskets.
- Packings.
