描述
Fortron 1130T4 is a 30% glass fiber reinforced, impact modified polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) injection molding grade from Celanese Corporation. This grade is specifically designed with an impact modifier to provide good thermal shock resistance , making it particularly suitable for applications subject to rapid temperature changes.
Fortron 1130T4 offers a unique combination of high strength and improved toughness compared to standard glass reinforced PPS grades. With 30% glass fiber reinforcement, it delivers excellent stiffness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance while maintaining the inherent chemical resistance and flame retardancy of PPS .
This linear, semi-crystalline PPS grade demonstrates excellent resistance to acids, bases, automotive fuels, and solvents below 200°C. It provides high continuous use temperature (160°C to 240°C), very low moisture absorption (0.02%), and inherent V-0 flame retardancy at 0.8mm thickness .
