What are PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) used for?

Automotive manufacturing represents the largest application field of PPS. Typical applications include:

• automotive igniters
• sensors
• connectors
• thermostats
• carburetors
• fuel pumps
• IGBT modules
• IC regulators
• temperature controllers
• gearboxes
• water valves
• radiator water chambers
• heater vent brackets
• bearing supports
• seat bases
• oil pan bolts
• lamp housings
• bumpers
• coil bobbins and brackets for vehicle alternators
• exhaust system parts
• components for rearview mirrors and lamp bases

It can replace metals to manufacture exhaust recirculation valves, water pump impellers, pneumatic signal regulators and other parts.

Approximately 30% of PPS material is consumed in the electronics and electrical sector. Major applications cover:

• packaging of microelectronic components
• connectors
• terminal blocks
• IC sockets
• coil bobbins
• brush holders
• motor housings
• electromagnetic adjustment discs
• tuner shafts for televisions
• relays
• trimmer capacitors
• capacitor casings
• rotor insulation parts
• fuse holders
• radio cassette players
• magnetic therapy devices and other electronic parts

Manufacturing:

• chopsticks
• spoons
• bowls
• plates and other tableware

Corrosion-resistant parts including:

• bearings
• pumps
• valves
• pistons
• precision gears
• acid-alkali resistant valve pipelines
• pipe fittings
• gaskets
• submersible pumps and pump impellers
