NHU® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a semicrystalline high performance thermoplastic with an excellent balance of properties. It is stiff, strong, hard, tough, and has outstanding chemical and oxidative resistance. It retains these properties at temperatures well above 200°C, i.e., its continuous service temperature extends to 240°C. It absorbs little moisture and is both dimensionally stable and inherently flame retardant. It also has excellent electrical properties, is highly impermeable to most liquids and gases, has minimal creep, even at elevated temperatures, and flows well in molding to fill long, thin and complex parts.Information supplied by HT Materials Corporation. |
