PPS-CF60 Material Overview
PPS-CF60 (Polyphenylene Sulfide with 60% Carbon Fiber) is a high-performance engineering plastic designed for the most demanding industrial applications. With 60% carbon fiber reinforcement, PPS-CF60 provides superior strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for high-load, high-stress environments. This material performs excellently under extreme temperatures and aggressive chemical exposures, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
Mechanical Properties
PPS-CF60 is optimized for structural applications requiring exceptional strength and stiffness, along with excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability. The 60% carbon fiber content significantly enhances mechanical performance, especially in high-load and high-stress environments.
- Tensile Strength: ≥ 300 MPa (Increased due to higher carbon fiber content)
- Flexural Strength: ≥ 500 MPa
- Impact Strength: ≥ 65 kJ/m² (Adjusted for higher carbon fiber content)
The increased carbon fiber content improves rigidity and strength, making PPS-CF60 ideal for heavy-duty structural components exposed to extreme mechanical stresses.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PPS CF60 retains excellent properties even under the harshest conditions, including high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
- Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 360°C (Increased with higher fiber content)
- Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 300°C (Enhanced stability)
- Chemical Resistance: Outstanding resistance to oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemicals.
The 60% carbon fiber content ensures PPS-CF60 maintains exceptional performance in chemically aggressive environments and high temperature conditions.
Wear Resistance and Processing Characteristics
With 60% carbon fiber reinforcement, PPS CF60 excels in wear resistance, particularly under high-friction or repetitive motion applications.
- Wear Resistance: Excellent performance under high friction conditions.
- Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding, extrusion, and other thermoplastic processing methods. While processing temperatures for PPS CF60 are higher than those for lower carbon fiber grades, they remain manageable within typical processing ranges for PPS based materials.
The enhanced carbon fiber content increases durability, rigidity, and wear resistance, allowing PPS CF60 to excel in high-stress, high-abrasion applications.
Environmental Adaptability
PPS CF60 is well-suited to various environmental conditions. It has minimal water absorption, maintains dimensional stability, and keeps its mechanical properties in outdoor, humid, or chemically aggressive environments.
Applications
PPS CF60 is designed for demanding applications that require superior mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Typical applications include:
- Automotive Industry: Components such as gaskets, seals, connectors, and structural parts exposed to high mechanical stress and temperatures.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Heavy duty gears, bushings, bearings, and other components subjected to high mechanical stress, high temperatures, and aggressive chemicals.
- Electronics: Structural components that need to resist high temperatures and chemicals, such as enclosures and housings.
- Aerospace: High performance components that must withstand extreme temperatures, mechanical stress, and harsh chemicals while maintaining dimensional stability.
