Quantum Polymers: Extruded Plates, Rods and Tubular Bars for Machined Parts

PPS

Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS) is suitable for high performance structural components requiring thermal stability, structural integrity, high dimensional stability and exceptional resistance to a broad range of acids, alkalis, ketones and hydrocarbons.

PPS is inert to steam, compatible with common sterilization methods, and can be machined to tight tolerances.

Key Features

Excellent strength and rigidity up to 425°F continuous use with minimum decline in mechanical properties
Outstanding anti-fatigue and anti-creep properties
Superior chemical resistance
Excellent resistance to radiation?and inert to steam
Virtually no moisture absorption
Low coefficient of thermal expansion, high dimensional stability
Outstanding electrical properties?at high frequency, high temp and high humidity
Inherently flame retardant (UL 94 V-0 rating)

Typical Applications

Electrical/Electronic components
Manifolds
Chemical pump and motor parts
Gears, rotors and rings
Valves
Compressor components
Sensor components
Wear plates
High pressure liquid chromatography components
