Machined Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
Chemically resistant and mechanically strong material with excellent electrical properties
Why choose PPS?
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Good dimensional stability
- Essentially zero moisture absorption
- Machines to tight tolerance
What are some common PPS applications?
- Bearings
- Rings
- Rotors
- Steam or water applications
PPS is a high-performance thermoplastic ideal for applications requiring chemical resistance and mechanical strength at high temperatures (up to 425°F). In addition to its other properties, PPS offers virtually zero moisture absorption, good dimensional stability, and excellent electrical properties - making it a strong choice for extreme operating conditions. PPS comes in a variety of stock shapes, and colors range from opaque white to light tan.
