Techtron Lubricated Polymer: Sheets, Rods & Tubes
Techtron PPS is an internally lubricated polyphenylene sulphide grade which demonstrates an excellent combination of properties, making it ideal for applications where PA, POM, PET, PEI and PSU fall short, or where PBI, PI, PEEK and PAI are over-engineered and a more economical solution is required.
Techtron HPV PPS offers a valuable combination of properties including wear resistance, load-bearing capabilities and dimensional stability, when exposed to chemicals and high temperature environments.
Techtron Characteristics
- Very high maximum allowable service temperature in air (220°C continuously, going up to 260°C for short periods of time)
- High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, also at elevated temperatures
- Excellent wear and frictional behaviour
- Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- Very good dimensional stability
- Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
- Inherent low flammability
- Excellent resistance against high energy radiation (gamma and X-rays)
- Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)
Techtron PPS Technical Notes
All PPS products offer dimensional stability and strength at moderate temperatures. They are rated for continuous service to 220°C (425°F), but strength and stiffness vary based on temperature and grade. Unreinforced Techtron PPS is generally not recommended for wear applications. Products like Duratron PAI or Ketron PEEK are better selections for high temperature wear applications. When designing with compression molded grades, it is important to note its relatively low elongation and impact strength.
