Syensqo, a leading global supplier of high-performance materials and chemical solutions, has launched the first type of innovative extrudable polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) technology designed to revolutionise the performance and sustainability of piping materials.
„There is a growing need for new piping material solutions that are able to exceed the chemical, thermal and pressure resistance of traditional polyethylene or polyamide resins without compromising processability or efficiency“, said William Sattich, Principal Scientist for PPS at Syensqo. „Our advanced Ryton® PPS XE-5000 technology not only meets these requirements, but also delivers high-performance extrudable thermoplastic compounds with permeation resistance far exceeding that of conventional piping materials, revolutionising the energy industry's approach to piping solutions.“
Ryton® PPS XE-5000 offers a safe and proven solution for pipes used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, according to the manufacturer. Its chemical and permeation resistance are said to make it an economical and efficient choice for both traditional and new energy applications.
With the new, non-metallic piping solution, the company also aims to fulfil requirements in next-generation energy application markets. Due to its extrusion properties, Ryton® PPS XE-5000NA is said to be particularly suitable for use in inner liners, stand-alone and composite pipes.
