## What is PPS CF?

**PPS (Polyphenylene Sulphide)** is a semi-crystalline polymer belonging to the family of **high-performance thermoplastics (HPPs)**.  
The **CF (Carbon Fibre Reinforced)** version incorporates a percentage of carbon fibres, which dramatically increases structural stiffness while reducing thermal deformation and improving dimensional stability.

### Main properties:

- High mechanical strength and rigidity
- Excellent thermal resistance
- Outstanding chemical resistance to solvents, oils, fuels, and acids
- Low moisture absorption → high dimensional stability
- High dielectric strength → suitable for electrical and electronic applications
- Reduced thermal expansion coefficient thanks to carbon fibre reinforcement

## Advantages of PPS CF

- Exceptional heat resistance: operational up to 260 °C without performance loss
- Superior structural rigidity due to carbon fibre reinforcement
- Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance
- Outstanding dimensional stability, even under temperature variations
- Lower weight than metals, yet comparable mechanical properties
- Compatible with harsh environments (oils, solvents, fuels)
- Excellent electrical insulation and dielectric strength

## Annealing PPS CF

At **Weerg**, [PPS CF](https://www.weerg.com/3d-printing-materials/pps-cf-carbon-fibre-reinforced) printed components can undergo a **controlled annealing process** — a thermal treatment that stabilises the material and enhances both mechanical and thermal performance.

Annealing, performed over **20 hours**, allows for:

- Increased **heat deflection temperature (HDT)** up to **255 °C**
- Reduction of internal stresses accumulated during printing
- Improved long-term dimensional stability

This treatment is particularly recommended for **technical and functional components** intended for demanding operating environments.

## Applications of PPS CF

- **Aerospace:** lightweight, heat-resistant structural components
- **Automotive:** brackets, supports, housings, and enclosures for engines or sensors
- **Electronics:** connectors, insulators, and high-temperature precision parts
- **Chemical industry:** components exposed to acids, solvents, or steam
- **Robotics and precision mechanics:** rigid parts with tight tolerances

## Comparison Between PPS CF and Other Technical Materials

| **Material** | **Maximum temperature (°C)** | **Chemical resistance** | Rigidity | **Cost** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **PPS CF** | 260 | Excellent | Very high | Medium-high |
| **PEEK CF** | 300 | Excellent | Very high | High |
| **PA12 CF** | 180 | Good | High | Medium |
| **ABS CF** | 100 | Medium | Medium | Low |

 

**PPS CF** offers an ideal balance between performance and cost, positioned just below **PEEK CF** in terms of technical performance, but with a **superior price-to-performance ratio**.

## Conclusion

**PPS CF** is an outstanding material for industrial applications requiring **high rigidity, thermal resistance, and dimensional stability**.  
Thanks to carbon fibre reinforcement, it combines **metal-like mechanical performance** with **reduced weight** and **superior chemical resistance**.
