  FORTRON(PPS)


Top Raw material/Polymerization Characteristics History Applications

FORTRON completely changed the industry's prior view of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) as being a brittle material. FORTRON is firmly establishing is base as a new type of PPS resin that overcomes this brittleness.
This is because while traditional PPS has a partially cross linked molecular structure, FORTRON possesses a non-cross linked linear structure. Needless to say, FORTRON is superior in its heat resistance, flame retardance, and chemical resistance, and it also contains only very low levels of ionic impurities and exhibits superior solderability. These properties are seeing growth for FORTRON continue centered on demanding electronic component applications.
Applications are not limited to electronic components. FORTRON's superior properties are being exploited in automotive parts such as lamp sockets, water pumps, and various auto electrical components, as well as in mechanical parts for OA and AV equipment. Still more growth is anticipated for FORTRON centered on auto electrical components and housing applications.
