Product Description
PPO also referred to as polyphenylene ether (PPE), is a thermoplastic material that exhibits exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical qualities. It is a high-performance thermoplastic that is created by combining 2,6-dimethylphenol oxidatively, which produces a stable aromatic backbone.
PPO is appropriate for heat-resistant applications due to its great thermal stability, which enables it to tolerate high temperatures without experiencing substantial deterioration. In humid situations, its limited absorption of moisture guarantees constant qualities.
PPO has excellent mechanical qualities, including impact resistance, stiffness, and strength. It can be combined with polystyrene (PS) to create polymers like Noryl, which have many uses. PPO is ideally suited for high-frequency applications because of its electrical insulating qualities, and it may also be used in chemical processing equipment, automobile parts, and home appliances due to its chemical resistance.
