Ticona Introduces New PPS Grades
Up to Ten Times the Thermal Conductivity of Standard Filled PPS
The new PPS line provides an optimum combination of cost, performance and thermal conductivity. Although the resins have lower thermal conductivity than metal, designers can use them for essential heat dissipation while retaining many of the traditional benefits of PPS. These benefits include chemical resistance, design freedom and dimensional stability, as well as possibilities for part consolidation and weight reduction.
The new Fortron resins can be used in many industries in several potential applications such as heat sinks, heat pipes, pumps, tubing, electronic interfaces and power supply units. Their typical end uses include high-intensity light fixtures, transformer thermal emission bases in power integrated circuits and optical pick-up bases.
Fortron PPS is a linear material that, when compared to highly branched PPS products, offers greater strength and toughness for more versatility in part design and assembly, as well as better end-use performance.
