Identifying characteristics
ˌˌColour beige / natural, under the effects of
UV quickly develops localized brown patches
ˌˌLow flammability
ˌˌSulphurous odour of rotten eggs
ˌˌExtinguishes after removing the flame
ˌˌHard, bright sound on impact
Products / Modifications
TECATRON (PPS)
Basic type, only for special
applications
TECATRON GF40 (PPS GF)
Glass fibre reinforced for high
strength and rigidity
TECATRON GF40 black
(PPS GF)
Glass fibre reinforced, dyed
black, improved UV protection
for outdoor applications and
colour-stable products
TECATRON PVX (PPS CS CF TF)
Special type with modified sliding
properties to comply with sliding
requirements under high
temperatures, loads and the
effects of chemicals and steam
Application examples
Structural components for chemical environments, valves,
filter housings, pump and fitting components, pump impellers,
sliding components exposed to temperature and
chemical influences as well as hot water, roller bearings for
continuous driers, electrical components, plugs, housings,
core formers, lamp housings, unreinforced special types
with low ion contamination for semi-conductor production
Summary
The deployment of TECATRON materials frequently offers
the optimum compromise where the performance parameters
of PA 66 GF30 have reached their limits and a solution
using PEEK materials would exceed budgetary restrictions.
In the automotive industry, for instance, PPS is
frequently used predominantly for applications in the engine
compartment where PA 66 GF30 is no longer able to
provide adequate characteristics. Alongside the high level
of material strength and dimensional stability, another outstanding
feature of PPS is its dimensional stability.
