Members FretFiend. Posted June 15, 2012 Members Share Posted June 15, 2012 Tusq is a tradename/trademark. The makers aren't very public about exactly what the material is, but I'm betting it's a variant of Polyphenylene Sulfide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm thinking as well but I had never seen it referred to that way before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kiowa1 Posted June 15, 2012 Members Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think Fretfiend is right. http://www.cpchem.com/bl/rytonpps/en-us/Pages/WhatIsPPS.aspx If it's the same stuff, it's also used in boat parts - bushings, spacers, etc. where light-weight flame-retardant properties are needed. Pretty strong stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
