About PPS

PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is a tough, high-performance engineering thermoplastic featuring high dimensional stability. It combines good mechanical properties with excellent thermal resistance, and offers the broadest chemical resistance of any engineering plastic. There are no known solvents of PPS below 392° F (200° C).

PPS is produced in compression molded and extruded forms, with differentiated properties for each. It also can be processed with fillers, resulting in a wide range of grades including glass/mineral filled, conductive and anti-static grades, internally lubricated bearing grades and FDA compliant grades for your food processing machinery needs.
