Looking for a material that can be used for molding under-the-hood components, a material that has both flexibility and impact strength without a loss in heat-resistance? Chevron Phillips Chemical has developed a new Family of Xtel XE Series polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) elastomer alloys, rubber-modified PPS alloys (thus the flexibility).

There is Xtel XE3035, which can be processed with injection molding and XE3200, for extrusion. The alloys mold off-white, but can be readily pigmented as required. (To learn more, visit www.RytonPPS.com).
