PPS+GF40%

At GD Prototyping, we offer PPS+GF40%, a high-performance composite made from polyphenylene sulfide reinforced with 40% glass fiber. This advanced engineering material is designed for extreme environments, providing exceptional strength, rigidity, and thermal stability. Compared to unfilled PPS, the glass fiber reinforcement significantly enhances mechanical properties, creep resistance, and dimensional stability, making it a reliable choice for structural and high-precision applications.

Thanks to its excellent balance of thermal resistance and chemical durability, PPS+GF40% is widely used across industries where performance under stress is critical, particularly in automotive and electrical systems.

Applications

• Automotive Components – Ideal for fuel system parts, under-the-hood housings, and structural pieces exposed to heat and chemicals.
• Electrical & Electronics – Used in connectors, switches, sockets, and insulating components requiring dimensional accuracy.
• Aerospace Industry – Applied in lightweight, load-bearing components needing strength and high-temperature stability.
• Industrial Equipment – Suitable for pump parts, valve housings, and wear components in chemically aggressive environments.
• Appliances – Found in parts exposed to high heat, such as oven handles, dryer components, and motor housings.

Benefits of PPS GF40%

1. Superior Mechanical Strength: Glass fiber reinforcement enhances tensile, flexural, and impact properties.
2. High Heat Resistance: Performs consistently at continuous-use temperatures up to 240°C, making it ideal for thermal-intensive applications.
3. Dimensional Stability: Maintains shape and precision under mechanical loads and elevated temperatures.
4. Outstanding Chemical Resistance: Resistant to fuels, oils, acids, and solvents, ensuring long-term durability.
5. Reduced Creep and Warpage: With glass fiber reinforcement, PPS+GF40% resists deformation even under continuous stress.
6. Excellent Electrical Insulation: Provides strong dielectric properties, ensuring safety and reliability in electronic applications.
