General Information
PPS is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic suitable for components that require thermal stability up to 200 °C, high dimensional stability and it offers broad resistance to chemicals. PPS has good creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Moisture absorption in PPS is negligible and thus ensures that its dielectric constant and dissipation factor are unaffected by wet or humid conditions. No known solvents affect PPS below 200 °C and it is inert to steam, strong bases, fuels and acids. PPS GF 40 offers better dimensional and thermal stability than unfilled PPS. It is a cheaper alternative to PEEK in applications at lower temperatures.
