Polyphenylene sulfide
1. Introduction
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) plastic is a thermoplastic special engineering plastic with excellent comprehensive performance, featured by high temperature and corrosion resistance as well as superior mechanical properties.
With years of technical research and development, and long-term production and operation experiences, Whitefan Chemical has mature and reliable production technology to produce polyphenylene sulfide.
It consists of two different processes: Flash process unit and Quench process unit, which can be used to produce coating, injection molding, fiber and film grade PPS. The producer can adjust the proportion of the above products according to market demand.
