High-performance Plastics – PPS
PPS – Polyphenylsiloxan
Technical high-performance plastic. This macromolecule consists of phenylene rings and one S-atom which provide a good chemical resistance even at high working temperatures. PPS is particularly suitable for the production of moulded pieces which are exposed to high mechanical and thermal stresses. Injection moulding is the most common processing technology for this material, in addition, single components can be made of semi-finished products by cutting. Special glass-fibre reinforced compounds offer an improved rigidity, sturdiness and dimensional stability under heat compared to non-reinforced compounds.
