Cost reduction continues to lead the list of challenges facing automotive
engineers, but designability and emissions regulation issues are quickly rising, according to automotive engineers responding to a recent survey. Fuel
economy and safety remain in the top five challenges, increasing in urgency
over last year. These are the main reasons why automotive engineers explore
the possibilities of high-end engineering plastics such as Ryton® PPS.
PPS compounds have a unique combination of properties:
• A remarkable combination of both long-term and short-term
thermal stability.
• Exceptionally high modulus and creep resistance.
• Outstanding resistance to a wide variety of aggressive
chemical environments.
• Precision molding to tight tolerances with high reproducibility.
• Inherent non-flammability without flame retardant additives.
• Dielectric and insulating properties, stable over a wide range of
conditions.

Being the most important safety device of a vehicle, the
requirements for brake system devices are extremely
high. They include high temperature resistance, long term
chemical resistance, high stiffness , strength, low creep,
dimensional stability and low CLTE. Typical Ryton® PPS
applications in brake systems are ABS motor components, ABS brake pistons, valve bodies, sensors and
vacuum pump rotors and blades.

This unique combination of properties make Ryton® PPS
an ideal choice for automotive parts exposed to high temperatures, automotive fluids, or mechanical stress. Typical
applications include brake systems, coolant systems,
electrical/electronic devices and fuel systems. Ryton®
PPS is a lighter weight alternative to metals and is resistant to corrosion by salts and automotive fluids. The
ability to mold complex parts to tight tolerances and insert

COOLANT SYSTEMS
It might seem surprising that one of the most aggressive
environments for plastics is hot water.
In some cases (e.g. PA and PPA alike materials), the hot
water attacks the polymer as such eventually leading to
a complete loss of mechanical properties. Very often, this
goes hand in hand with strong swelling effects.
To support customers in the development of applications
in contact with coolants, the European Ryton®
International Technical Center (ITC) heavily invested in
state of the art test equipment, including pressure vessels for aging tests. The temperature and pressure in
these vessels are continuously monitored and registered.
The complete system is regularly calibrated by an independent lab and the whole set up has been subjected to
different audits from Tier 1 suppliers. As a result, some
of these system suppliers accept data generated at the
Ryton® ITC as if they were generated in their own labs.
Because of the close collaboration between the Ryton®
ITC and the leading coolant manufacturers, Chevron
Phillips Chemical can anticipate on new coolants before
they even come on the market.
DIMENSIONAL CHANGE
For polymers that have a good resistance versus hot water,
water does not attack or dissolve the polymer, but it may
seep down the interfaces between the polymer matrix
and the glass fiber reinforcement and break down molecular linkages between the polymer and the glass. When
the adhesion between the polymer and the glass fiber
reinforcement is compromised, the compound will lose
a significant degree of strength.
Width
Thickness
Although differences in filler and additive systems can
affect resistance to engine coolants, Ryton® PPS compounds are generally very resistant to glycol-based and
silicone containing coolants, even at elevated temperatures. Ryton® R-4-220 PPS and BR111-S PPS have been
specially formulated for enhanced resistance to the detrimental effects of water at elevated temperatures and
therefore tend to retain a greater degree of mechanical
strength over long-term exposure to high temperature
engine coolants, especially the more aggressive new
“long-life” (OAT) coolants.

The graph shows the evolution of tensile strength of various engineering polymers after aging in Glysantin G-05

is good, with the BR111-S and R-4-220 clearly outperforming the competitive 40% GF PPS. The hydrolytic stable PPA suffers from severe chemical attack and has less
than 20% of the initial tensile strength left after 2000 h.
