Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
The following table provides an overview of the chemical resistance of the transponder made
of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The transponder has special chemical resistance to
solutions up to a temperature of 200 °C. A reduction in the mechanical properties has been
observed in aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO3) at 80 °C.
The plastic housings are resistant to all types of fuel including methanol.
