Fortron

Informații despre marcă

Fortron® PPS by Celanese is a high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) designed to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining excellent mechanical and chemical stability. As a semicrystalline polymer, Fortron® PPS exhibits outstanding thermal resistance, high stiffness, superior strength, and excellent creep resistance, making it an ideal material for demanding industrial applications.

Key Properties of Fortron® PPS:

• High temperature stability – Continuous service temperatures up to 240°C (464°F), with short-term exposure beyond this limit

• Exceptional chemical resistance – Insoluble in all known solvents below 200°C (392°F); highly resistant to automotive fuels, hydraulic fluids, acids, and bases

• Flame resistance – Inherent flame-retardant properties; UL 94 V-0 rated, with some grades achieving 5VA classification

• Low moisture absorption – Ensures dimensional stability even in humid or high-moisture environments

• Excellent creep resistance – Maintains structural integrity under prolonged mechanical stress, even at elevated temperatures

• Lead-free soldering compatibility – Suitable for electronic applications requiring high thermal stability

Available Grades of Fortron® PPS:

Fortron® PPS is available in multiple formulations tailored to meet the needs of various industries and applications:
