PPS PVX

HPMs – High-performance materials

PPS PVX

PPS PVX is a polyphenylene sulphide that contains added carbon, PTFE and graphite. It has a low coefficient of friction and excellent sliding characteristics. Therefore, it is an ideal material for challenging uses with sliding applications and bearings. We deliver PPS PVX as plastic sheets and rods.
