A PPS Filter Bag is an industrial dust-collection bag made from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) fiber, engineered for high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments. Manufactured as needle-felt, woven or membrane-laminated media, PPS bags combine thermal stability, low moisture uptake and excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and organic solvents.
PPS Filter Bag: High-Temperature, Chemical-Resistant Industrial Filter Bags
PPS Filter Bag (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is engineered for heavy-duty dust collection where elevated temperature resistance, chemical tolerance and long service life are critical. Hebei OuTai Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd. manufactures high-quality PPS filter bags for cement, power plants, metallurgy, waste-to-energy, chemical processing and other industrial applications. Available in needle-felt, woven and membrane-laminated constructions with multiple finishes to suit your process.
Key benefits at a glance
Continuous service up to 170–200°C.
Outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis and solvents.
Stable pore structure and low moisture uptake.
Compatible with pulse-jet cleaning and reverse-air systems.
Available membrane upgrades (PTFE/ePTFE), silicone-free and anti-static variants.
Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline, high-performance engineering polymer. PPS fiber used in filter media is produced to withstand continuous high temperatures (typically up to 170–200°C in service), retain structural integrity in corrosive environments, and resist acids, alkalis and organic solvents. PPS fibers are commonly processed into needle-felt, woven and membrane-laminated fabrics to meet specific filtration needs.
High thermal stability: Continuous operating temperatures up to ~170–200°C and short-term resistance to higher temperatures.
Excellent chemical resistance: Stable against most acids, alkalis and organic solvents (except powerful oxidizers).
Low thermal shrinkage and dimensional stability: Keeps pore structure under heat cycling.
Good dust cake release: Facilitates pulse-jet cleaning and longer bag life.
Low moisture absorption: Reduced risk of hydrolysis and clogging in humid conditions.
High filtration efficiency: Fine particle capture with consistent airflow and low pressure drop.
Available surface treatments: PTFE/ePTFE membrane laminates, silicone-free finishes, anti-static treatment and oleophobic/hydrophobic options.
Hebei OuTai is an experienced PPS filter fabric manufacturer in China, with production lines that produce needle-felt, woven fabrics and membrane-laminated PPS media. We control raw material quality, fabric formation, needling density and finishing treatments to ensure each filter bag meets client specifications for efficiency, temperature rating, dust load and mechanical durability. Custom sizes, cuff types, and finish treatments are available to match retrofit and new-system requirements.

Applications
Cement & clinker, coal & biomass power plants, metallurgy & sintering, chemical processing, incineration, ceramics, glass, and industries requiring high-temp resistant filtration.
Best Practices
Confirm cage condition and bag seating.
Use correct cuff type to prevent leaks.
Monitor ΔP and replace when cleaning fails to restore pressure.
Avoid mechanical abrasion and chemical exposure beyond spec.
We accept sample orders for fit and filtration trials. Customization includes cuff style (steel ring, snap band, Teflon collar), length, diameter, finish and micron rating. Contact our sales team with application details for a quotation and lead-time estimate.
· Q: What is the usual lifetime of a PPS filter bag?
A: Lifetime depends on process conditions — with correct selection and maintenance, typical service life ranges from several months to multiple years.
· Q: Can PPS bags handle intermittent high-temperature spikes?
A: PPS media tolerate short spikes above continuous rating, but continuous exposure should remain within manufacturer limits to avoid degradation.
· Q: Do you supply replacement bags for older collectors?
A: Yes — we offer retrofit sizing and custom collars to match legacy equipment.
