Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS) is a type of engineering plastic that is widely used in the automotive, electrical and electronics, and industrial sectors. It is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that offers excellent chemical resistance, high temperature stability, and good mechanical properties. PPS is also flame retardant and has low smoke emission, making it suitable for use in applications where fire safety is a priority. Its low moisture absorption and low coefficient of friction make it ideal for use in bearings and other moving parts. PPS is a cost-effective alternative to other engineering plastics, such as polyamides and polycarbonates. It is also used in the manufacture of medical devices, such as catheters and syringes, due to its biocompatibility and low toxicity. Notable companies in the PPS market include Solvay, Celanese, Asahi Kasei, SABIC, and BASF. Show Less Read more
