Techtron® PSBG PPS
- Chemical Family
- Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
Techtron® PSBG is a high-performance polymer that combines the excellent chemical and corrosion resistance of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) with the added strength and durability of carbon fiber reinforcement. This compression-molded material is internally lubricated and designed to excel in wear applications where an electrically conductive material is required.Key features:Excellent wear resistance: internally lubricated and carbon fiber-reinforced, allowing it to withstand high loads and minimize wear and tearOutstanding dimensional stability: minimal moisture absorption and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, making it easy to maintain tight tolerancesExtreme chemical and corrosion resistance: ideal for use in demanding environmentsLow coefficient of linear thermal expansion: making it suitable for applications where dimensional stability is criticalElectrically conductive: ideal for wear applications that require electrical conductivityBenefits:Improved performance and durability of components in demanding environmentsIncreased resistance to chemicals, corrosion and wearEnhanced precision and dimensional stabilityImproved electrical conductivityApplications:Bushings and bearings, lantern rings, and pump wear components in the oil and gas industryElectrical components as it is electrically conductiveAutomotive and aerospace components as it can withstand high temperatures.Wear-resistant components in general, as it is internally lubricated and reinforced with carbon fiberTechtron® PSBG is a versatile and reliable material that can help improve the performance and longevity of your products. It's available in a range of shapes and sizes, making it easy to incorporate into your designs.

- Engineering Notes
All Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials-EPP's PPS products offer dimensional stability and strength at moderate temperatures. They are rated for continuous service to 425°F (220°C), but strength and stiffness vary based on temperature and grade. Unreinforced Techtron® PPS is generally not recommended for wear applications. Products like Torlon® PAI or Ketron® PEEK are better selections for high temperature wear applications. When designing with compression molded grades, it is important to note its relatively low elongation and impact strength.
