The first grade of what is said to be a unique extrudable polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) technology developed by Syensqo is set to revolutionize the performance and sustainability of piping materials. Ryton PPS XE-5000NA is said to provide a safe and proven solution for pipes operating in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Its exceptional chemical and permeation resistance make it an economical and efficient choice for both traditional and emerging energy applications.

According to Mike O’Brien, Syensqo’s global marketing manager for energy, the new PPS expands the legacy of Ryton into higher performance nonmetallic piping solutions, and meets customer demands in key markets, including oil and gas and the next generation of energy applications. With excellent extrusion properties, Ryton PPS XE-5000NA is well suited for use in inner liners, stand-alone and composite pipes.

The company says the material, now commercially available worldwide, delivers high-performance extrudable thermoplastic compounds with a permeation resistance far superior to that of common piping materials, revolutionizing the energy industry’s approach for piping solutions.

“There is a growing need for new piping materials solutions capable of exceeding the chemical, thermal and pressure resistance of conventional polyethylene or polyamide resins without compromising processability or efficiency,” says William Sattich, Syensqo’s principal scientist for PPS.
