PPS

Polyphenylene sulphide

PPS is a semi-crystalline high-performance plastic usable continuously above 200 °C with no known solvent below 200 °C. Because the neat resin is brittle it is almost always used as a glass-fibre or mineral-reinforced compound. It is inherently flame retardant (UL94 V-0) and dimensionally excellent.

Overview

PPS is the standard grade of the PPS family in the high-performance plastics group. It is used in applications such as pump housings, impellers and valve parts, engine-bay sensors and connectors, heater and boiler components. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Flammability ratingUL94 V-0 (doğal)

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Pump housings, impellers and valve parts
  • Engine-bay sensors and connectors
  • Heater and boiler components
  • Electronic coil and socket housings

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PPS are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
