PPS - 40% Glass-Filled (Generic)
PPS - Polyphenylene Sulfide (Generic) is available in Virgin (unfilled) or 40% Glass-Filled Grades
Linear polyphenylene sulphide is a partially crystalline material
that provides very high mechanical performance combined with
excellent resistance to heat and chemicals (continuous service
temperature resistance up to approximately + 464 °F), high
dimensional stability and creep strength. Its LOI is one of the
highest among polymers. Excellent hardness and rigidity are other
characteristics of PPS. By virtue of its strength and affordability,
it bridges the gap between the partially crystalline industrial plastics
and PEEK. Thanks to reinforcement with 40% glass fibres,
strengths are attained that are comparable with light metals.
Typical Applications:
Components in equipment construction, pump parts, fan elements, impellers, valve balls/seats/
seals, plastic parts and motor vehicle parts.
- We offer PPS and PPS-40GF rods from in 3/4" to 2" diameters.

![ProDrive ® Hammer Cushion Pads]( "ProDrive ® Hammer Cushion Pads")
ProDrive ® Hammer Cushion Pads
ProDrive ® Hammer Cushion Pads for Pile Driving
Cushion pads are used to improve the pile-driving process, a common activity in the construction
of large structures such as bridges and buildings. Piles—heavy beams of concrete, steel, or other
material—are pounded into the ground by a large "hammer" attached to a crane. The cushion
pad, which sits inside a "helmet" placed between the hammer and the pile, must transmit force
while protecting the pile.
Cushion Pads have proven themselves in all types of pile driving applications. Professional
Plastics has the ability to cut pads to your specifications on our CNC Router. Hammer cushion
pads have to be strong to withstand the pounding and to transmit the driving force needed while
protecting your equipment and the pile. Hammer cushion pads extend the life of your hammer
while transmitting the maximum striking force to the pile.
Made of high impact Phenolic Material, or Impact Resistant Cast Nylon, these cushion pads will
absorb the initial hammer shock while transferring the power that you need to the helmet and into
the pile. By absorbing this initial hammer shock, these cushion pads reduce the tremendous wear
and stress hammers are subjected to, thereby, minimizing breakdowns and nonproductive
down times. Damage to the contact point of the pile is also lessened often making it unnecessary
to trim the pile which can be a time consuming and costly procedure.
ProDrive ® Canvas Phenolic Cushion Pads provide tremendous impact resistance and
stability while absorbing shock. Canvas phenolic is made from a medium weave cotton cloth
fabric and mixed with phenolic resins to provide good wear resistance, low moisture absorption,
and good mechanical strength at economical cost.

![PTFE - Carbon-Filled]( "PTFE - Carbon-Filled")
PTFE - Carbon-Filled
Carbon-Filled PTFE was developed for its mechanical properties. The two basic materials used in these compounds, by themselves, are very questionable.
PTFE has good frictional properties including low wear rates and good elasticity. The carbon filler is brittle and has low wear properties. Both fail at high loads and increased
velocities. When both elements are formulated and properly blended together, they become an
extremely good material for use as seals and rings in the reciprocating compressor industry.
The properties increase several hundred times. Wear resistance is changed dramatically
compared to Virgin PTFE. The type and percentage of carbon is critical to material
performance. Carbon filled has a higher percentage of filler than any other PTFE blend.
Therefore the two materials must be similiar in size to prevent voids in the molded billet. For
optimum wear properties, the filler percentage is also important. Lower percentages are
easier to machine but do not perform as well in service. AVA56 PTFE material, is designed
for optimum wear properties in all suitable applications.
The molding cycle is also important to provide proper pysical properties. At higher molding
pressures the material has higher density and more filler is required. Not all carbon filled
PTFE is of the same quality.
