PPS-CF50 Material Overview

PPS-CF50 (Polyphenylene Sulfide with 50% Carbon Fiber) is a premium high-performance engineering plastic, designed for applications requiring exceptional mechanical properties in the most demanding industrial environments. With 50% carbon fiber reinforcement, PPS-CF50 provides enhanced strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for high-load, high-stress conditions. This material is engineered to perform excellently under extreme temperatures and aggressive chemical exposures, ensuring long-term reliability and durability.

Mechanical Properties

PPS-CF50 is optimized for structural applications that demand outstanding strength and stiffness, while also providing excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability. The 50% carbon fiber reinforcement significantly boosts the mechanical performance, particularly in environments with high loads, mechanical stresses, and rigorous operational conditions.

• Tensile Strength: ≥ 250 MPa
• Flexural Strength: ≥ 450 MPa
• Impact Strength: ≥ 60 kJ/m²

The higher carbon fiber content further increases rigidity, making PPS-CF50 suitable for heavy-duty structural components exposed to extreme mechanical stress.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

PPS-CF50 is engineered to withstand the harshest environments, including extremely high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. It retains its superior properties even under challenging conditions.

• Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 350°C
• Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 290°C
• Chemical Resistance: Outstanding resistance to oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemicals.

With its 50% carbon fiber content, PPS-CF50 not only offers superior mechanical strength but also ensures exceptional stability and performance in chemically aggressive environments and high-temperature conditions.

Wear Resistance and Processing Characteristics

Thanks to the 50% carbon fiber reinforcement, PPS-CF50 delivers superior wear resistance, particularly in high-friction or repetitive motion applications. It excels in environments where durability and longevity are critical.

• Wear Resistance: Exceptional performance under high friction conditions.
• Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding, extrusion, and other thermoplastic processing techniques. Processing temperatures for PPS-CF50 are higher than those for lower carbon fiber content grades but remain manageable within the typical processing ranges for PPS-based materials.

The carbon fiber reinforcement ensures enhanced durability, rigidity, and wear resistance, allowing PPS CF50 to perform effectively in high-stress, high-abrasion applications.

Environmental Adaptability

PPS-CF50 is well-suited for a variety of environmental conditions. It has minimal water absorption, excellent dimensional stability, and maintains its mechanical properties in outdoor, humid, or chemically aggressive environments.

Applications

PPS-CF50 is ideal 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.
