PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) needle punched felt is a high-performance nonwoven filter fabric manufactured via mechanical needle-punching of PPS staple fibers. It is specifically engineered for dust collection bags used in aggressive environments containing sulfur oxides (SOx), moisture, and moderate acid gases at continuous temperatures up to 190°C.
Thanks to PPS’s inherent molecular structure (a sulfur-aromatic polymer), the felt offers exceptional chemical resistance, hydrolysis stability, and flame retardancy – making it the preferred choice for coal-fired power plants, waste incinerators, cement kilns, and chemical dryers.
Outstanding acid resistance – Withstands sulfuric acid condensation (pH 2–4) without degradation.
Excellent hydrolysis stability – Performs reliably in high-humidity flue gases (up to 100% RH intermittent).
Continuous operating temperature – 190°C (peak 210°C).
Flame retardant – UL 94 V-0 rating; self-extinguishing.
High dimensional stability – Low shrinkage (<1% at 190°C).
Good abrasion resistance – Suitable for pulse-jet cleaning with medium to high pressure.
High filtration efficiency – Achieves ≤10 mg/Nm³ emission (even ≤5 mg with PTFE membrane lamination).
| Parameter | PPS Needle Punched Felt (Standard) | PPS + PTFE Membrane |
|---|---|---|
| Basis weight | 500 – 600 g/m² | 550 – 650 g/m² |
| Thickness | 1.8 – 2.2 mm | 2.0 – 2.4 mm |
| Air permeability | 80 – 120 L/dm²·min @200Pa | 30 – 60 L/dm²·min @200Pa |
| Tensile strength MD | ≥ 900 N/5cm | ≥ 900 N/5cm |
| Tensile strength CMD | ≥ 1000 N/5cm | ≥ 1000 N/5cm |
| Operating temperature (continuous) | 190°C | 190°C |
| Peak temperature (short term) | 210°C | 210°C |
| Temperature limit (instant) | 230°C | 230°C |
Optional finishes: water/oil repellent (oleophobic), anti-static (carbon fiber blend), or PTFE coating.
| Environment | Competing Material | PPS Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Coal-fired boiler flue gas (high SO₂ + moisture) | Polyester (degrades at >135°C) | PPS handles 190°C + acid + moisture |
| Waste incinerator (acidic condensate) | Aramid (Nomex®) – poor acid resistance | PPS outperforms in acid/humidity |
| Cement kiln (SOx + NOx) | Fiberglass (brittle) | PPS is flexible + chemical resistant |
| Chemical dryer (mixed acid gases) | PTFE (very expensive) | PPS is cost-effective alternative |
For applications where PTFE is overkill but polyester fails, PPS needle punched felt is the optimal balance of performance and price.
