Techtron® PPS Advanced Engineering Plastic
Techtron® PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) products offer the broadest resistance to chemicals of any advanced engineering plastic. They have no known solvents below 392°F (200°C) and offer inertness to steam, strong bases, fuels and acids. Minimal moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, combined with MCAM'c proprietary stress relieving process, make these PPS products ideally suited for precise tolerance machined components. In addition, PPS products exhibit excellent electrical characteristics and are inherently flame-retardant.
Unlike filled PPS products, Techtron PPS is easily machined to close tolerances. It is ideal for structural applications in corrosive environments or as a PEEK replacement at lower temperatures. Techtron PPS is off-white in color. Techtron CM PPS is the compression-molded version of unfilled PPS. It is black in color.
