Ensifide® PPS (polyphenylene sulfide)

Ensifide®
PPS (polyphenylene sulfide)

ENSIFIDE® is a high performance thermoplastic that combines good mechanical properties with excellent thermal and chemical resistance properties. There is no known solvent that dissolves ENSIFIDE at temperatures below 392°F. Its low ionic impurities make it an excellent choice for applications where high purity is a concern.

High purity characteristics (Low ionic impurities are apparent.)
Outstanding retention of mechanical properties under continuous use up to 338°F (170°C)
Excellent chemical resistance
Good electrical insulator
High mechanical strength
High strength-to-weight ratio
Corrosion resistant
Dimensional stability over wide variations of temperature and moisture
Creep resistance (Long-term property retention.)

ENSIFIDE®'s excellent thermal and chemical resistance along with its ionic impurities make an excellent choice for applications requiring low outgassing and high purity. ENSIFIDE® is typically used in the automotive, electrical/electronic, industrial, mechanical, appliance and semiconductor industries.
