Metron PPS

Polyphenylene Sulfide

Metron PPS family of materials is a range of semi-crystalline polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), heat-resistant polymer that exhibits a simple chemical structure comprising benzene and sulfur. Metron PPS is designed to fill the performance and price gap between standard thermoplastics and high-end engineering plastics. By offering a balance of properties and cost, Metron PPS provides an attractive alternative to high-end materials like PBI, PI, PAI, and PEEK, which may be too expensive. This makes Metron PPS an ideal choice for applications where a high-performance material is needed at a competitive price

Metron PPS Nat.(Cream)

Metron PPS Natural (Cream) is an unfilled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) based material that excels in structural applications where corrosion resistance is crucial. It is also a suitable replacement for PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) in less demanding temperature environments.

Key Benefits:

Dimensional Stability: Metron PPS Nat. exhibits minimal moisture absorption and a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, ensuring consistent and precise dimensions.

Easy Machinability:  This material can be easily machined to close tolerances, making it ideal for precise tolerance machined components.

Compliance: The raw materials used in the manufacture of Metron PPS stock shapes meet the regulations of the United States FDA for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

Note: Metron PPS Nat. is not typically used in wear applications.

Overall, Metron PPS Natural (Cream) is a reliable and versatile material that offers excellent dimensional stability, easy machinability, and compliance with food contact regulations, making it an excellent choice for structural applications in corrosive environments.

Key Properties of Metron PPS
  1. High Maximum Allowable Service Temperature: 220°C continuously, up to 260°C for short periods of time, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
  2. High Mechanical Strength, Stiffness, and Creep Resistance: Exhibits excellent mechanical properties, even at elevated temperatures, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.
  3. Excellent Chemical and Hydrolysis Resistance: Resists chemical corrosion and degradation from water, acids, and bases, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
  4. Very Good Dimensional Stability: Maintains its shape and size even when exposed to temperature changes, humidity, or chemical environments.
  5. Excellent Wear and Frictional Behaviour: Displays low friction and wear rates, reducing maintenance needs and extending component lifespan.
  6. Self-Extinguishing: Metron PPS exhibits inherent flame retardancy, eliminating the need for additional flame retardants.
