Advanced Sensor Technologies chooses Solvay’s Ryton® PPS for chemical- and heat-resistant sensor housings used in demanding industrial processing

Published Feb 06, 2018

Solvay, a leading global supplier of high-performance polymers, announced today that Advanced Sensor Technologies Inc. (ASTi) selected Ryton® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) to mold protective housings for two industrial-grade sensors. The sensors, designed to evaluate either pH or oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) in industrial processes, are encased in housings molded from Ryton® R-4-230BL, an advanced 40-percent fiberglass-reinforced PPS compound that combines improved processability, excellent rigidity and strong resistance to chemicals even at high temperatures.
