About the Product Family
FORTRON® PPS from Celanese is a semi-crystalline, high-performance plastic with outstanding properties. FORTRON® is a linear PPS characterised by high rigidity, strength and impact strength, and low creep at higher service temperatures. The polyphenylene sulphide is inherently flame-resistant and demonstrates excellent resistance to chemicals, solvents and motor vehicle fuels.
The PPS from Celanese is also an excellent insulator, is highly impermeable to many liquids and gases and shows very low water absorption. The The FORTRON® PPS range includes grades for injection moulding and extrusion that differ in the type and quantity of modifiers as well as in their melt viscosity. The special properties of FORTRON® from Celanese also make it suitable as a substitute for metals, thermosets and ceramic materials.
