Specialty PPS
SOLFIGA
SOLFIGA is TEIJIN's specialty PPS line, built around targeted performance goals such as conductivity, heat stability and dimensional control.
Family overview
SOLFIGA is best understood as a specialty PPS line built around targeted development goals.It sits closer to function-driven PPS differentiation than to a broad general-purpose PPS position.
It fits projects where conductivity, heat stability, dimensional control or other defined property targets drive the material choice.That makes SOLFIGA a strong specialty PPS track for higher-value electrical, structural and precision applications.
When a project requires a PPS family aligned to a clear application concept, SOLFIGA is the more differentiated side of TEIJIN's PPS lineup.It is best compared against general-purpose PPS families after the target property direction is set.

Grade lineup
The SOLFIGA lineup uses TEIJIN compounding technology and functional reinforcement materials to address specific targets such as rigidity, conductivity and wear resistance.
| Grade lineup | Features | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon fiber reinforced PPS | High strength, high rigidity, conductive properties | Structural parts, mechanism elements |
| Special conductive fiber reinforced PPS | EMI shielding properties | Communication devices, connectors |
| Aramid fiber reinforced PPS | Sliding and wear resistance, high impact strength | Gear parts, sliding parts |
New solutions can be reviewed according to customer requests.
Technical properties
PPS carbon fiber reinforced grade
This grade combines HDC POLYALL PPS, TEIJIN carbon fiber and TEIJIN compounding technology to support weight reduction, strength, low water absorption and dimensional stability.
- YJ-0030 targets a balance of strength and specific stiffness.
- Water absorption is 1.3 when PA66/CF is set to 100.
PPS aramid fiber reinforced grade
This grade combines HDC POLYALL PPS with TEIJIN aramid fiber characteristics, and is positioned for wear reduction when sliding against soft metals such as aluminum.
- YJ-0010 is a PPS/AF grade for sliding and wear conditions.
- Teijin PPS/AF shows low abrasion loss: 7.0 for resin and 0.5 for aluminum.
Figure.1 Mechanical strength of PPS/CF (YJ-0030)
YJ-0030 is positioned above general GF-reinforced PPS and aluminum in specific strength and stiffness. It is useful when weight reduction and structural strength must be reviewed together.
