TECATRON PPS
TECATRON™ PPS is a high performance thermoplastic that combines good mechanical properties with excellent thermal and chemical resistance properties. There is no known solvent that dissolves TECATRON™ PPS at temperatures below 392°F. Its low ionic impurities make it an excellent choice for applications where high purity is a concern. TECATRON™ GF40 is a glass reinforced material that offers extremely high strength along with excellent chemical resistance properties. TECATRON™ PVX is a bearing grade PPS that is suitable for high load applications.
- High purity characteristics
Low ionic impurities are apparent. - Outstanding retention of mechanical properties under continuous use up to 338°F (170°C)
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Good electrical insulator
- High mechanical strength
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Corrosion resistant
- Dimensional stability over wide variations of temperature and moisture
- Creep resistance
Long-term property retention.
TECATRON™PPS's excellent thermal and chemical resistance along with its ionic impurities make an excellent choice for applications requiring low outgassing and high purity. TECATRON™PPS is typically used in the automotive, electrical/ electronic, industrial, mechanical, appliance and semiconductor industries.
