TECATEC PPS CW50 PL V01 natural
PPS composite plate with carbon fiber reinforcement
TECATEC PPS CW50 PL V01 natural is a carbon reinforced plastic material filled with 50 vol% carbon fiber fabric and is based on the semi-crystalline high-temperature thermoplastic polyphenylenesulfide (PPS). PPS plastic is characterized by particularly high chemical resistance and high temperature resistance. Compared to an unfilled PPS polymer, PPS composite material offers much better mechanical properties: the continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic has over four times the stiffness of a short-fiber reinforced PPS in fiber direction at the same density. The already low creep tendency of PPS is also improved by the carbon fiber reinforcement.
The carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic offers high dimensional stability over a broad temperature and moisture range and enables machining with the tightest tolerances. TECATEC PPS CW50 PL V01 natural has a high temperature resistance and shows a continuous service temperature of over 200 °C.
Inherent flame retardant properties and resistance to acids and alkalis make PPS composite especially interesting for the transportation industries including aerospace. Compared to other high performance thermoplastics, the use of PPS yields competitive pricing.
For application where carbon fibers are not desired, Ensinger offers PPS sheets with a glass fabric reinforcement (glass filled TECATEC PPS GW50 PL V01 natural).
This composite PPS sheet is offered in thicknesses from 1 to 95 mm and dimensions within 525 x 625 mm. To minimize long and costly development times, no minimum order quantities are required for TECATEC PPS CW50 PL V01 natural.
