PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide)

PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) is a highly chemical resistant polymer for room temperature and slightly elevated temperature applications. Great care should be taken, however, when using the polymer in elevated temperatures, as studies have shown the polymer to lose much of its chemical resistance properties when the temperature is too high. Additionally, the chemicals that show an effect with PPS are not pH dependent; however it is recommended to investigate specific compatibility prior to using strong acids or bases and some halogenated organic solutions.
