描述
Fortron 0214 is a high viscosity, unfilled linear polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) grade from Celanese Corporation. This grade is specifically designed for extrusion applications, exhibiting excellent melt strength that makes it particularly suitable for producing multi-filaments, films, and sheets . The material also demonstrates outstanding heat and chemical resistance, characteristic of the PPS family .
Fortron 0214 is available in three forms: Fortron 0214P1 (pellets), Fortron 0214B1 (powder) , and Fortron 0214C1 (crystallized pellets) . This versatility allows processors to select the optimal form for their specific extrusion, compounding, or molding requirements.
With its higher molecular weight compared to lower-viscosity grades, Fortron 0214 offers enhanced melt stability and is occasionally used for injection molded parts where the balance of flow and melt strength is advantageous .

Critical Processing Warnings
⚠️ Drying Requirement – Fortron 0214 requires drying prior to processing. Dry at 120°C for 3–4 hours using a dehumidifying air dryer with dew point ≤ -30°C. The time between drying and processing should be as short as possible .
⚠️ Moisture Control – Maximum residual moisture content should be ≤ 0.02% . Despite low moisture absorption, drying is essential for optimal processing.
⚠️ High Viscosity – This grade has high viscosity characteristics, providing enhanced melt strength for extrusion. Processing parameters may need adjustment compared to lower viscosity grades.
⚠️ Extrusion Equipment – For extrusion applications, a three-section screw with 15-25 D length is recommended. A shut-off nozzle is recommended for injection molding .
⚠️ Storage – Store in original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For subsequent storage, the material should be stored dry until processed.
