SOUTH NORMANTON, UK – October 4, 2023 – Sun Chemical will exhibit at Fakuma 2023 (Booth B4-4102, Hall B4), the world’s leading trade event for industrial plastics processing, to demonstrate its growing range of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and masterbatch solutions.

 

PPS Solutions

Sun Chemical provides future-oriented PPS compounds for use in the automotive industry and offers the broadest PPS compound portfolio of any manufacturer in the world.

On display will be a range of developments suitable for automotive e-power trains, such as e-engines, power electronics, lithium-ion battery cells for hybrid and electric cars, and pipe extrusion for thermal management of both combustion and electrical engines.

This includes:

• PPS Z-200-XP BLACK – The company’s newly developed grade is an unfilled, impact modified, extrusion polyphenylene sulfide grade designed for use in pipe and tube applications. The solution offers high viscosity at the optimum level for the extrusion process, combined with high flexibility and elasticity, which enables a smooth heat-forming process, while maintaining chemical and heat resistance.

• PPS Z-240 BLACK – Sun Chemical’s injection moulding grade for bus bar applications for hybrid and electric cars, offers high flowability, temperature and heat shock resistance, high dielectric strength and very low dimensional tolerances.

Customers can rely on a worldwide network of support and expertise for all PPS solutions being showcased, ranging from sales assistance and customer service to technical support.
