Ryton® PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) has a high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, flowability, and dimensional stability. Ryton® is a great choice when you need dimensional stability for precision-molded components. It is inherently flame retardant and offers chemical resistance comparable to PEEK and fluoropolymers.
Ryton® PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is an engineered thermoplastic, that offers an exceptional balance of properties. Ryton® plastic has high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, flowability, and dimensional stability. This makes Ryton® plastic a useful material in electronics, automotive, aerospace, and chemical industries. The high-temperature resistance in Ryton® plastic consists of long-term resistance to temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) and short-term resistance to temperatures up to 260°C (500° F). Ryton® plastic maintains dimensional stability at elevated temperatures and hard chemical environments. The dimensional stability in Ryton® PPS allows even complex parts to be molded with tight tolerances. Ryton® PPS also has a low water absorption and is insoluble in all common solvents below 200°C (392°F), making Ryton® plastic stable in both typical and alternative automotive fuels. The molecular structure of a Ryton® PPS polymer causes it to char during combustion, making it flame retardant.
