PPS-CF10 Material Overview
PPS-CF10 (Polyphenylene Sulfide with 10% Carbon Fiber) is a high performance engineering thermoplastic that blends the outstanding chemical and thermal resistance of PPS with enhanced mechanical properties from 10% carbon fiber reinforcement. This balanced formulation improves stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability, while maintaining excellent processability and resistance to aggressive environments.
Compared to PPS-CF5, PPS-CF10 provides greater structural integrity, better resistance to deformation under load, and improved durability under moderate mechanical stress—making it a reliable material for more demanding industrial applications.
Mechanical Performance
PPS-CF10 is tailored for parts that require higher rigidity and strength than unreinforced or lightly filled PPS variants, while still offering some flexibility and ease of processing.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 110 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 210 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 40 kJ/m²
The 10% carbon fiber content significantly boosts load bearing capabilities, making it suitable for medium to moderately high stress environments.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PPS-CF10 maintains excellent thermal and chemical stability in demanding operational conditions.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 260 °C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 200 °C
Chemical Resistance: Excellent — resists oils, fuels, solvents, acids, and alkalis
Even with increased carbon fiber content, PPS-CF10 retains PPS’s renowned resistance to chemical degradation, oxidation, and hydrolysis.
Wear Resistance and Processing Characteristics
PPS-CF10 provides stronger wear resistance than PPS-CF5, making it suitable for components exposed to moderate to high friction or continuous movement.
Wear Resistance: Very good — suitable for dynamic or semi structural parts
Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion
Processing Notes: Requires standard PPS processing conditions; carbon content may affect flow characteristics slightly
Environmental Adaptability
With low water absorption and outstanding resistance to chemicals and temperature cycling, PPS-CF10 performs reliably in humid, outdoor, or chemically aggressive settings. The increased fiber loading helps ensure consistent part geometry even under thermal or mechanical load.
Applications
PPS-CF10 is well suited for applications where mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance must coexist:
Automotive Industry: Thermally stressed electrical housings, sealing flanges, and underhood brackets
Industrial Equipment: Load resistant bushings, pump components, or parts in chemically aggressive machinery
Electronics: High strength support frames and heat resistant enclosures
Aerospace: Dimensionally stable parts under thermal cycling and fluid exposure

Friction coefficient of PPS-CF
The friction coefficient of PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) typically ranges from 0.3 to 0.45, while PPS-CF (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide) has a lower coefficient, generally between 0.2 and 0.35. The addition of carbon fiber improves hardness, wear resistance, and reduces friction, making PPS-CF more suitable for high-load, high-temperature, and high-friction applications.
