PPS GF (GLASS-FILLED POLYPHENYLENE SULPHIDE) IS A COMPOSITE MATERIAL THAT COMBINES THE OUTSTANDING PROPERTIES OF PPS TOGETHER WITH THE REINFORCING EFFECTS OF GLASS FIBRES. THIS HIGH-PERFORMANCE THERMOPLASTIC OFFERS HIGHER MECHANICAL STRENGTH, BETTER DIMENSIONAL STABILITY AND GREATER WEAR RESISTANCE THAN UNFILLED PPS. PROS High chemical resistance Thermal stability Mechanical strength Dimensional stability CONS Rough surface Anisotropy MAIN FEATURES 3D Printing process: FDM Tolerance: 100mm ± 0,75% Max size: 300 x 300 x 400 mm; 11,8 x 11,8 x 15,8 in Lead time: <3 days HIGH CHEMICAL RESISTANCE It boasts remarkable chemical resistance, a consequence of its distinctive molecular makeup featuring rigid rings and sulphide bonds. This composition enables the material to effectively withstand various chemicals, such as acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. THERMAL STABILITY Owing to its unique molecular framework, which is composed of rigid aromatic rings and sulphide bonds, it demonstrates exceptional thermal stability. This configuration imparts significant intermolecular strength and superior thermal resistance, allowing the material to endure elevated temperatures without considerable degradation or compromised mechanical properties. MECHANICAL STRENGTH Key features of the mechanical strength of PPS include high tensile strength (50-100 MPa for unfilled grades), good bending strength (80-130 MPa for unfilled grades), moderate impact resistance, high hardness, excellent creep resistance and good fatigue strength.
