VERTEC 7000 Series Overview

RYTON® • FORTRON® • ULTRASON®

The Vertec 7000™ Series consists of PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) and PES (polyethersulfone) polymers. PPS and PES offer outstanding flexural strength and good high temperature resistance.

PPS is often used in industrial applications where long-term dimensional stability at elevated temperatures is required. Its resistance to most industrial chemicals and very low liquid absorption rate makes it suitable for use in chemically aggressive environments. The 7000 Series includes several grades of PPS materials compounded with glass or carbon fibers, along with other fillers, to suit specific service requirements. In some applications where PEEK may be considered over engineered, PPS offers a lower cost alternative.

Typical Applications

• Surface mount connectors
• Chip trays
• Bushings and thrust washers
• Backup rings
• Powertrain components
• Electrical insulators
• Microwave components
• Pump vanes and gears
• Blower components
• Flowmeter impellers
• Electric heater grills
• Radomes
• Power tool components
• Pulp and paper machinery components

Key Characteristics

• High rigidity (PPS)
• Outstanding creep resistance
• Excellent flame resistance (PPS)
• Outstanding chemical resistance
• Outstanding hydrolytic stability (PES)
