Shapes made from Techtron™ 1000 PPS exhibit outstanding dimensional stability due to their minimal moisture absorption and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. Due to these characteristics, this polyphenylene sulfide is easy to machine to close to precise tolerances and is ideal for structural applications in corrosive environments.
