Products
TECATRON PPS is a highly crystalline high-temperature thermoplastic with an excellent balance of cost, temperature resistance, strength, chemical resistance and flame retardance. TECATRON PPS is often used when long-term high-temperature performance and dimensional stability are a must, even in the presence of aggressive chemicals. In most applications, TECATRON PPS is supplied as a filled compound with glass fiber, carbon fiber or mineral reinforcements.
