PPS examples of tensile strength retention versus temperature C

At low temperatures, polyphenylene sulfide is used for cryogenic applications at -269°C. Generally, notched Izod impact strength does not significantly decrease between room temperature and -40°C. 

These results relate to some grades only and cannot be generalized. 

Some self-lubricating grades of polyphenylene sulphide, containing specific additives and reinforced with glass or carbon fibres, are marketed. The coefficients of friction are good, for example 0.2 for a carbon fibre reinforced compound. 

Alterations by moisture exposure are weak shrinkage and coefficient of thermal expansion are low creep resistance is good, the more so the higher the glass fibre content.
