TECACOMP PPS XS black 1014862
Compound based on polyphenylene sulphide with optimised sliding properties
Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) is known for its outstanding temperature and chemical resistance. In the compound, the modulus of elasticity, compressive strength and heat resistance are additionally improved by adding carbon fibres. Graphite also optimises the sliding and wear properties.
TECACOMP PPS XS black can be used permanently up to 230 °C and for short periods up to 260 °C. It is suitable for moulded parts that are subject to particularly high stresses, such as sealing bodies for the exhaust gas management of turbochargers in vehicles.
The compound has a relatively low density. It absorbs moisture only to a very small extent, therefore hardly expands when heated and is very dimensionally stable. The carbon fibres influence the anisotropy and help to dissipate heat better.
