Fortron is a linear, partially crystalline poly (phenylene sulfide). Repeated structural units of the phenylene group and the sulfur atom constituting the main chain of the macromolecule, which gives Fortron many excellent characteristics:

- Continuous use temperature up to 240 ° C, short-term use temperature up to 270 ° C
- Itself a flame retardant (UL 94: V-0, several levels can be reached 5VA)
- Excellent chemical resistance and oxidation resistance
- Very rigid
- Very low moisture absorption rate
- Even under high temperature conditions, creep resistance is also very good!
The combination of these excellent properties Fortron an thermoplastic specialty plastics.
Fortron has good mechanical properties and thermal stability, suitable for a variety of molding processing methods.
The Fortron of the most important applications is to plug in the electrical and electronic industry (for example, multi-point connectors, bobbins, relays, switches, electrical and electronic parts of the package).
Fortron applications in the automotive industry are also increasing (air intake system, pumps, valves, gaskets, exhaust gas recirculation system components).
Fortron is also used to manufacture precision engineering parts.
For more parts used in high stress Fortron alternative light metal alloys, thermoset and many other thermoplastic material of choice.
