Ryton R-4-240

A Unique Combination of Properties and a Cost/Performance Balance
Ryton® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline, high-heat polymer that offers exceptional dimensional stability for precision-molded components needing to withstand prolonged, high-temperature service. It is inherently flame retardant and offers chemical resistance comparable to PEEK and fluoropolymers.

Why Ryton® PPS?
* A remarkable combination of both long-term and short-term thermal stability
* Exceptionally high modulus and creep resistance
* Outstanding chemical resistance to a wide variety of aggressive chemical environments

* Precision molding to tight tolerances with high reproducibility
* Inherent non-flammability without flame retardant additives
* Dielectric and insulating properties stable over a wide range of conditions

Market Applications
In Automotive, Ryton® PPS is used in components required to withstand high temperatures, mechanical stress and corrosive automotive fluids. By replacing metal, Ryton® PPS reduces fuel consumption, lowers costs and improves system integration. In Electrical/Electronic, Ryton® PPS meets performance requirements for connectors, sockets, relays and switches, bobbins and coils, electronic packaging, and encapsulated devices. For Appliances, Ryton® PPS is used to replace metals, thermosets, and lower performing plastics in motors and controls, pumps, fans and blowers, and E/E components used in HVAC and other demanding applications.

Ryton R-4-240 40% glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide compounds provide a good combination of mechanical and electrical properties with outstanding chemical resistance, even at elevated temperatures.
