Made with Fortron® polyphenylene sulfide, high-tenacity Diofort® is inherently flame-retardant and chemical resistant. It can be combined with glass, carbon, and other polymer fibers to yield blended fabrics. In addition to reinforcing hydraulic oil hoses in power steering systems where it reduces noise and vibration, product can be applied in fuel lines and charge-air coolers to provide resistance to high pressure and temperature while allowing flexibility.

Fortron® MT linear polyphenylene sulfide grades can withstand repeated sterilization and resist hydrolysis and strong disinfectants, alkalis, and other chemical media. They are used to replace metal and for precision mechanical elements in drug delivery systems. Vectra® MT liquid crystal polymer grades offer stiffness, creep resistance, dimensional stability, and high flow in long, thin sections. They are thermal- and chemical-resistant and withstand numerous sterilization cycles.
