PPS (Polyphenylene Sulde) Fibers
In 1967, Phillips Petroleum Company discovered a method for producing PPS
through the combination of para-dichlorobenzene and sodium sulde. In 1972,
Phillips Petroleum discovered how to produce PPS bers called Ryton® (also
known as Torcon® and Procon®). The news spread quickly about its balanced
thermal and chemical resistances, nonammability and electrical properties. To
this day PPS bers are known for its:
•
•
•
•
•

Long and Short - Term Thermal Resistance
Exceptional Stability for a Wide Range of Temperature and Frequency
Variations
Chemical Resistance to Acids, Alkalis and Organic Solvents
Hydrolysis Resistance
Flame Retardant Properties - NASA Flame Resistance rating of R4 and an
LOI rating of 35 (Since it can be incinerated after use, PPS is also being seen as

Trilobal Fibers

an environmentally friendly ber.)

PPS bers are suitable for a range of baghouse ltration applications that include:
•
•
•
•
•

Coal - Fired Boilers
Municipal Solid Waste Boilers
BioWaste (Waste to Energy) Boilers
Smelters / Furnaces
Calciners / Catalysts

PPS ibers are available in a range of deniers ranging from 2.0, 2.7, 6.0, and
7.0. PPS bers are very stable in a nished felt form with stability standards
at 2% shrink or stretch. These bers can also be woven into fabrics for shaker
and reverse air baghouse, but these occurances are rare. PPS bers can operate in a continuous temperature of 375oF (191oC) with an excursion up to 400oF
(204oC) before thermal degradation occurs.
