Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
Polyphenylene sulfide is a semicrystalline engineering thermoplastic commonly supplied in compounded grades for demanding mechanical and electrical applications.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a polymer made up of alternating sulfur atoms and phenylene rings in a para substitution pattern. It offers a unique combination of properties and a cost/performance balance unmatched by other engineering thermoplastics. Key properties include thermal stability, dimensional stability, chemical resistance and inherent flame retardancy. It is widely used in electric & electronic field, automobile industry, industrial field and aerospace field.
Reinforcement and formulation alter stiffness, shrinkage and electrical behaviour. Processing must suit the selected grade and mould geometry.
Weld lines, fibre orientation and long-term exposure influence finished-part performance. Chemical resistance must be considered under the actual temperature and stress.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows qualified parts and their specific material content. PPS resin, reinforced compounds and finished components are distinct traded products.
The commercial boundary
PPS resin, reinforced compounds and finished components are distinct traded products.
