Colour masterbatch producer Lifocolor (Lichtenfels / Germany; www.lifocolor.de) is expanding its portfolio to include the “Lifocolor PPS” masterbatch comprising seven standard colours that can be applied at 300 °C, the typical processing temperature for polyphenylene sulphide (PPS). The resulting product can withstand continuous heat exposure up to 240 °C and a short-term heat exposure of around 270 °C. The material is also said to have a high chemical resistance to nearly all solvents as well as many acids and alkalis.

The PPS range is suitable for application in technical parts. Small quantities of the masterbatches are already available ex stock. Lifocolor can supply individual colour specifications at request.
