/Asset/Polypropylene Film.jpgPPS Film (Polyphenylene sulfide)
(3) PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) Ryton QC160P® film is an impact-modified, unreinforced extrusion grade resin. PPS film offers desirable tensile elongation along with excellent flexibility and ductility.PPS Film has high temperature resistance (up to 500F, 428F continuous), impact strength and flexibility. This new grade retains many of the traditional benefits of Fortron® PPS including excellent adhesion to nylons and polyolefins, high chemical resistance and low fuel permeation.
PPS offers the broadest resistance to chemicals of any advanced engineering plastic. It has no known solvents below 392°F (200°C) and is inert to steam, strong bases, fuels and acids. For example: .005" (5mil) film of Fortron PPS SKX-382 has a gasoline (CE10) permeability rate of 0.121 g mm/m2/day, which is far less than that of nylon, polyketone and other resins often used with gasoline and other fuels. Minimal moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, combined with stress-relieving manufacturing, make PPS ideally suited for precise tolerance machined components.
