PPS Plastic Product Properties

By adding glass fibers and glass fiber/mineral mixtures to standard Fortron® PPS plastic, it allows:

• Service temperatures up to 240°C

• Very good resistance to chemicals and solvents

• Inherent flame resistant (UL 94 V-0, some grades 5VA)

• Very low moisture absorption

• Suitable for lead-free soldering

• Excellent creep resistance even at elevated temperatures

The Fortron® PPS plastic chemical structure provides excellent chemical and thermal resistance. Insoluble in all known solvents below 200°C (392°F), it has very good stability in both typical and alternative automotive fuels.

PPS Plastic Grades

• Glass-filled grades

• Mineral-glass grades

• Low-wear grades

• Blow-molding grades

• Medical technology (MT®)

PPS Plastic Processing

• Injection molding

• Extrusion (film, fiber, sheet, shapes)

• Blow molding

In addition, Fortron® PPS plastic can be extruded with meltblown and spunbond technologies for melt spun nonwovens. Unfilled, high viscosity Fortron® PPS plastic is also suitable for extrusion and compression molding to produce sheets, rods and other stock shapes commonly used for prototyping.

PPS plastic has broad automotive, drinking water, food contact and aerospace approvals.
