Techtron HPV PPS

Techtron HPV PPS (deep blue) reinforced, internally lubricated
semi-crystalline polymer developed to close the gap both in performance and
price between the standard thermoplastic materials (e.g. PA, POM, PET)
and the high end advanced engineering plastics (e.g. PBI, PI, PAI, PEEK).

Techtron HPV PPS demonstrates an excellent combination of properties
including wear resistance, load-bearing capabilities and dimensional
stability when exposed to chemicals and high temperature environments.
Techtron HPV PPS is found in applications where PA, POM, PET and other
plastics fall short or where PI, PEEK and PAI are over-engineered and a more
economical solution m,ust be found. Thanks to the uniformly dispersed
internal lubricant, it exhibits excellent wear resistance and a low
coefficient of friction. It overcomes the disadvantages of virgin PPS caused
by a high coefficient of friction, and of glass fibre reinforced PPS which
can cause premature wear of the counterface in moving-part applications.
The material can be used in all kinds of industrial equipment such as
industrial drying and food processing ovens (bearing, roller etc), chemical
process equipment (pump, valve & compressor components) and electrical
insulating systems.

Common Uses for Techtron HPV PPS

Techtron HPV PPS Processing Equipment Bearing

A manufacturer of food processing equipment needed a material that could
withstand aggressive wash down cycles and perform without lubrication. The
solution was to use Techtron HPV PPS as a bearing in this new unit that
offered a more compact, less complicated design that was capable of higher
speed and greater output. In the past only exotic materials would have
worked in this elevated temperature application where lubrication was not
possible and chemicals were present during cleaning. Techtron HPV PPS
combines the excellent chemical resistance of PPS with the wear resistance
and performance of premium bearing materials.

Techtron HPV PPS Paper Box Packaging Mould

A packager needed a mould to form the paper box in its equipment for
liquids. The mould needed high mechanical strength to resist the
compression forces as well as dimensional stability under load and
temperature. Wear resistance, low weight and chemical resistance during the
cleaning process were also required. Techtron HPV PPS was chosen due to
its better wear resistance over PEEK or aluminium. The plastic has
excellent dimensional stability under load, with no moisture pickup and a
low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The benefits includes reduced
maintenance costs, no corrosion problems, low weight and in-use noise level,
increased hygiene.
