Xtel®XK2040
Polyphenylene Sulfide Alloys
Xtel® XK2040 compounds are high performance, glass fiber reinforced, PPS based alloys developed to provide excellent mechanical strength and electrical properties along with excellent flow in thin-walled parts, low flash characteristics, and fast cycle times.  Xtel® XK2040 compounds can be easily molded in conventional injection molding equipment utilizing water heated molds.
