Polyphenylene sulfide is a resin bonded polymer coating with outstanding resistance to chemical reactivity and thermal degradation. Combined with PTFE, PPS produces a hybrid coating that can be applied to substrate with low coefficient of friction and good wear resistance. PPS is a partially crystalline, high-temperature performance polymer that has a high melting point of approximately 2800C, strong chemical resistance and is inherently flame retardant. PPS compounds can be modified with different fillers to provide application-specific solutions. It is easy blend-ability can lead to a vast range of compounds.
It can be easily processed and is usually chosen as an alternative to metals, making PPS an ideal choice of material to produce complex parts with very tight tolerances. It has self-extinguishing properties without the addition of any flame-retardant chemical additives.
It is known to exhibit a great number of beneficial properties, including resistance to heat, acids, alkalis, mildew, bleaches, ageing, sunlight, and abrasion. It’s dye-resistant and absorbs only small amounts of solvent.
