描述
Fortron 9115L0 is a 15% glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) grade from Celanese Corporation, featuring high melt strength that makes it particularly suitable for blow molding and extrusion applications .
With 15% glass fiber reinforcement, Fortron 9115L0 delivers enhanced mechanical properties while maintaining excellent processability for blow molding and extrusion processes. The high melt strength allows for the production of complex hollow parts and extruded profiles with consistent wall thickness and dimensional control .
As a linear, semi-crystalline PPS, Fortron 9115L0 is relatively impermeable to gases, hydrocarbons, and other liquids compared to other materials. It provides high dimensional stability, low coefficient of friction, low shrinkage, excellent mechanical properties, creep resistance at high temperatures, a high continuous use temperature (160°C to 240°C), and very low moisture absorption.
This grade exhibits high hardness, high rigidity, and excellent resistance to corrosion, hydrolysis, oxidation, heat, and paraffin buildup. It shows excellent chemical resistance to all solvents below 200°C, acids, bases, typical and alternative automotive fuels, and petroleum fluids at elevated temperatures. The material is RoHS, PFOS, and PFOA compliant and is suitable for metal replacement applications.
