PPS Machining
A Guide to PPS CNC Machined Parts: Properties, Applications and Design Considerations
What is PPS?
Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) is a semi-crytalline, high temperature thermoplastic polymer. PPS offers the broadest resistance to chemicals of any advanced engineering plastic.
Because of PPS's chemical structure it is a highly resistant polymer with high strength and hardness, especially in the higher temperatures. PPS has good dimensional stability as well as low moisture absorption.
Main Attributes of PPS:
- High chemical resistance
- High temperature performance
- High modulus when reinforced
- Good mechanical strength
- Low water absorption
- Good dimensional stability
- Excellent electrical properties
- High purity characteristics
- High maximum allowable temperature in air (220°C continuously, 260°C in bursts)
- Suitable for food contact
