Engineering Thermoplastics
PPS GF40 — Polyphenylene Sulfide, 40% Glass Fiber Reinforced
PPS is a high-performance thermoplastic with outstanding resistance to heat, chemicals, and hydrolysis. Its inherent flame retardancy (UL94 V-0 without additives) and excellent dimensional stability, especially when reinforced with glass fibers, make it ideal for demanding applications.
