PPS Filament

Polyphenylene Sulfide

C
Also known as:Polyphenylene Sulfide
Family:PPS

Why Use PPS?

  • Exceptional chemical resistance (claimed near-inert below ~200C); solid performance for chemical environments

Things to Consider

  • Expensive and still high-demands; niche justification

Safety & Ventilation

  • Print PPS in a well ventilated area. Higher-temperature materials like this can release fumes and fine particles while printing. An enclosure improves print quality and helps contain fumes, but it is not a substitute for fresh air, so vent the enclosure or run an air filter and avoid an unventilated occupied room.
