PPS-CF10 Material Overview
PPS-CF10 (Polyphenylene Sulfide with 10% Carbon Fiber) is a high-performance engineering plastic that combines the robust properties of PPS with 10% carbon fiber reinforcement. This results in superior chemical resistance, exceptional thermal stability, and outstanding dimensional stability, making it an excellent choice for demanding industrial applications. While offering enhanced strength and stiffness compared to lower carbon fiber variants, PPS-CF10 is optimized for high-stress applications where durability and performance are critical.
Mechanical Properties
PPS-CF10 is designed for applications that require high stiffness and strength, paired with excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability. With a higher carbon fiber content than PPS CF05, it delivers superior mechanical performance suitable for high-load applications.
- Tensile Strength: ≥ 120 MPa
- Flexural Strength: ≥ 240 MPa
- Impact Strength: ≥ 40 kJ/m²
With 10% carbon fiber, PPS-CF10 offers improved strength and stiffness over unreinforced PPS, making it ideal for structural components under high stress.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PPS-CF10 excels in high-temperature and aggressive chemical environments, ensuring stability and reliable performance in extreme conditions.
- Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 280°C
- Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 230°C
- Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemicals.
The added carbon fiber enhances strength without compromising the material’s intrinsic chemical resistance, making it suitable for the most challenging industrial environments.
Wear Resistance and Processing Characteristics
PPS-CF10 offers superior wear resistance compared to unreinforced PPS, making it ideal for components exposed to high levels of abrasion or repetitive motion.
- Wear Resistance: Outstanding performance under high friction conditions.
- Processing Methods: Compatible with injection molding, extrusion, and other typical thermoplastic processing methods. Processing temperatures are higher than those for PPS-CF05 but remain within manageable limits for PPS-based materials.
The higher carbon fiber content ensures enhanced rigidity while maintaining excellent durability for demanding applications.
Environmental Adaptability
PPS-CF10 performs exceptionally well in challenging environmental conditions, with minimal water absorption and outstanding dimensional stability. It remains reliable even in humid, outdoor, or chemically aggressive environments.
Applications
PPS CF10 is ideal for high-duty applications that require superior mechanical properties, high chemical resistance, and thermal stability:
- Automotive Industry: Components like high-performance gaskets, seals, and electrical connectors.
- Industrial Manufacturing: High-load-bearing gears, bushings, and components exposed to harsh chemical environments.
- Electronics: Structural parts for electronic devices needing exceptional chemical and thermal resistance.
- Aerospace: Components requiring high strength and dimensional stability under extreme thermal stress.
