PPS Sheets and Rods Supplier in Saudi Arabia
PPS (polyphenylene sulphide) is a high-performance engineering plastic that keeps its strength, stiffness and shape at high temperatures and in aggressive chemicals. It absorbs almost no moisture, so machined parts hold tight tolerances, and it is inherently flame retardant. Diode Trading EST stocks PPS sheets and rods at our Dammam warehouse and supplies customers across Saudi Arabia, with a Material Test Certificate (MTC) for every order.
Applications of PPS
- Pump, valve and compressor components in chemical and oil and gas service
- Bearings, bushings and wear parts at elevated temperatures
- Electrical insulators and connectors
- Semiconductor and electronics handling parts
- Food and process equipment parts exposed to hot water and steam
PPS vs PEEK vs PTFE
PPS sits between PTFE and PEEK. Compared with PTFE (Teflon), it is much stiffer and holds tolerances better under load. Compared with PEEK, it offers similar chemical resistance at a lower cost for many parts, while PEEK handles higher temperatures and loads. Glass-filled and bearing grades improve strength and wear resistance.

PPS FAQs
What is PPS plastic used for?
PPS is used for high-temperature, chemical-resistant parts such as pump and valve components, bushings, insulators and electronics parts.
Is PPS better than PEEK?
PEEK handles higher temperatures and loads, but PPS offers excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability at a lower cost for many applications.
Do you stock PPS in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. PPS sheets and rods are stocked at our Dammam warehouse.
