Manufacturer page / TDSDescription
Flame-retardant PPS fiber with chemical, hydrolysis and electrical-insulation resistance.. Product form: Staple fiber. Thermal/service data: Continuous use 200–240°C; melting point 285°C; LOI 34. Official source: EX-PPS-HUVIS
Comparative overview
PPS fiber — Flame-/chemical-resistant thermoplastic fiber
Strengths: Inherent flame resistance, chemical durability, low moisture uptake and stable filtration performance.
When to use: Select for hot chemical filtration, battery separators, insulation and protective textiles rather than maximum structural stiffness.
Key tradeoffs: Moderate mechanical reinforcement performance and lower temperature ceiling than mineral/ceramic fibers.
Qualitative ratings (1–10 scale)
| Relative cost | 6/10 — Moderate–high — specialty flame/chemical-resistant thermoplastic fiber. |
|---|---|
| EM transparency | 9/10 — Excellent — electrically insulating and generally dielectric. |
| Temperature / fire resistance | 7/10 — Very good — continuous use around 200–240°C, melting near 285°C and LOI about 34 give good organic-fiber fire performance. |
| Impact / penetration resistance | 5/10 — Moderate — moderate toughness; normally selected for filtration/chemical/thermal durability rather than ballistic energy absorption. |
| Electrical / thermal conductivity | 1/10 — Very low — electrically insulating with low thermal conductivity. |
| Specific tensile strength | 2/10 — 2/10 | 592.6 kN·m/kg | Family estimate |
| Atmospheric durability | 8/10 — Very good — excellent chemical and moisture resistance with better inherent weathering than most thermoplastics; prolonged UV can still affect the surface. |
| Sustainability (CO₂e) | 7/10 — 6.00 kg CO₂e/kg fiber — Medium emissions — data quality: Low |
