This process covers steps such as material preparation, melting extrusion, casting, shaping, cooling, traction, trimming, winding, etc., and can produce PPS film with a smooth and flat surface and a thickness of as thin as a few micrometers.

Performance Characteristics

Heat Resistance PPS film exhibits excellent heat resistance, capable of operating stably at temperatures up to 220°C or even 260°C for extended periods.

Chemical Resistance PPS film has good corrosion resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and other chemicals, enabling stable operation in harsh chemical environments.

Flame Retardancy PPS film demonstrates outstanding flame retardancy, effectively preventing the spread of fire.

Electrical Insulation PPS film possesses good electrical insulation properties, effectively isolating current and preventing issues such as current leakage and electric shock.

Mechanical Properties PPS film has high strength and hardness, as well as good wear resistance and tear resistance.

Environmental Friendliness PPS film is an environmentally friendly material, free of halogen elements, and produces less smoke and harmful substances when burned.

Application Fields

Due to its excellent properties, PPS film has a wide range of applications in various fields:

Electronics and Electricals: Used in the manufacture of high-temperature cables, wire insulation layers, support structures for electronic components, etc.
Aerospace: Utilized in the manufacture of thermal insulation materials for high-temperature components such as aircraft and rockets.
Automotive: Applied in the manufacture of sealing materials and thermal insulation materials for high-temperature components such as engines and exhaust systems.
