Techtron™ PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) products close the price and performance gaps between standard and advanced engineering thermoplastics. Our range of Techtron™ materials offer the broadest resistance to chemicals of any advanced engineering plastic. They have no known solvents below 200°C and offer inertness to steam, strong bases, fuels and acids. Minimal moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, combined with stress relieving processes, make these PPS products ideally suited for precise tolerance machined components. In addition, PPS products exhibit excellent electrical characteristics and are inherently flame retardant. These materials are an excellent alternative to PEEK at lower temperatures.
Techtron™ GF40 PPS is a 40% glass fiber-reinforced grade that exhibits higher stiffness and creep resistance than other PPS grades. Because of its improved dimensional stability, this grade excels in structural applications involving a high static load, even for long periods of time and at elevated temperatures. While the glass fiber reinforcement improves the dimensional stability of the material, this additive can abrade mating surfaces in sliding parts.
Techtron™ HPV FG PPS (Food Grade) is an internally lubricated, EU 10/2011 and FDA compliant PPS material that offers superior wear resistance, outstanding chemical and hydrolysis resistance, excellent dimensional stability, great electrical insulating and dielectric properties, a low coefficient of friction and inherently low flammability. As a reinforced, internal lubricant-filled grade, Techtron™ HPV FG PPS closes the gap in performance and price between standard thermoplastics and advanced engineering plastics. For this reason, this versatile grade is ideal for wear components such as bushings and bearings, CIP wash down parts and pump, valve and compressor applications throughout the aerospace, food processing and oil and gas industries.

Shapes made from Techtron™ 1000 PPS exhibit outstanding dimensional stability due to their minimal moisture absorption and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. Due to these characteristics, Techtron™ 1000 PPS is easy to machine to close to precise tolerances and is ideal for structural applications in corrosive environments.
