What is Ryton made of?

What is Ryton made of?

Ryton R4, a 40% glass fiber reinforced grade that was the “go to” polymer when high strength in aggressive service conditions existed. The 40% glass fiber reinforcement increased an inherently low glass transition temperature of PPS turning it into an exciting high performance polymer.

What is Ryton plastic?

Ryton® PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is an engineered thermoplastic, that offers an exceptional balance of properties. Ryton® plastic has high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, flowability, and dimensional stability.

What material is PPS?

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a partially crystalline, high temperature performance polymer that has the chemical structure shown in the figure on the right. This polymer has a high melting point of approximately 280°C, excellent chemical resistance and is inherently flame retardant.

Is polyphenylene sulfide toxic?

Degradation vapors may cause irritation. degradation fumes may cause dizziness, nausea, and irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract. based on the biological activity of high molecular weight polyphenylene sulfides.

How do you make polyphenylene sulfide?

PPS is produced by reaction of sodium sulphide and dichlorobenzene in a polar solvent such as N-methylpyrrolidone and at higher temperature [at about 250° C (480° F)].

Can polyphenylene sulfide be recycled?

Polyphenylene sulfide recycling services are often available when processed as a powder, flake, regrind, or reprocessed pellets. Our services include: Milling or pulverizing to convert your coarse powders, pellets and regrind into coarse, fine, and extra-fine powders.

What is PPS coating?

PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) / Ryton® is a resin bonded coating with outstanding chemical resistance. This coating is virtually unaffected by any solvent to 400°F. PPS is used as a stand-alone material for excellent corrosion and chemical resistance.
