Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resins exhibit an exceptional combination of properties and an excellent cost/performance balance. Among the key properties of PPS resins are thermal stability, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance and inherent flame retardancy. PPS resins belong to a class of high-performance thermoplastics that include specialty nylons, sulfone polymers, liquid Crystal polymers, aromatic ketone polymers, polyetherimides and others. Major markets/applications for PPS resins include automotive, electrical/electronic (EE), PPS fiber bags (filters), industrial, PPS films and others. The automotive and EE markets consume the most PPS worldwide, accounting for two-thirds of global consumption in 2024.
The following chart shows world consumption of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resins:
Mainland China has been the largest consumer of PPS neat resins, accounting for nearly half of world consumption in 2024. The main end uses for PPS in mainland China, in order, are filter bags, automotive, EE, industrial and others.
