This semi-crystalline polymer is filled with 40% glass fibre. It has exceptional rigidity and hardness, even at a service temperature of up to +220 °C. Its very good chemical resistance, low creep tendency, and high dimensional stability allow applications for components with high thermal and mechanical stresses in the fields of pumps, fittings, chemical plants, and mechanical engineering. This material is also used for small high-precision parts with high dimensional stability in the electrical and nuclear industries. This glass fibre filled PPS does, however, tend to have brittle-like breaking behavior.Information provided by Angst + Pfister |
