描述
Fortron 6150T4 is a 50% glass fiber and mineral reinforced, impact modified polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) injection molding grade from Celanese Corporation. The “T4” designation indicates this grade has been specially formulated with an impact modifier to provide improved impact and thermal shock resistance .
The balanced 50% glass fiber and mineral filler content provides an excellent combination of strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability while maintaining low warpage. This makes Fortron 6150T4 particularly suitable for applications subject to rapid temperature changes where highly filled PPS grades may be prone to cracking .
As a linear, semi-crystalline PPS, Fortron 6150T4 exhibits excellent chemical resistance to solvents, acids, bases, and automotive fuels 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 1.5mm thickness .
