To broaden the range of applications for their products and so expand the market position of the manufacturers, numerous top businesses in the global Polyphenylene Sulphide Market have been introducing new products with more sophisticated characteristics. As an illustration, DIC introduced impact modified PPS, an elastomer-modified PPS, which has characteristics like elongation, enhanced strength, outstanding performance even under high temperature and humidity, and reduced flash level. In addition to this, a few significant businesses are growing their manufacturing capacities to meet the rising demand for PPS. For instance, the speciality materials manufacturer Celanese Corporation stated in April 2014 that it would be expanding its factory in Nanjing, China.
