What Is PPE Resin (PPO Resin)?
PPE resin, short for Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) also known as Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO), represents a top-tier category of rigid amorphous engineering thermoplastics. Prochase plastic resin supplier offers high-grade PPE resin to satisfy customers' needs.
Why You Should Use Polyphenylene Ether Resin?
PPE resin has high strength and impact toughness, outstanding electrical properties, dimensional stability, mechanical and dielectric strength, and commendable resistance against a wide spectrum of chemicals. Additionally, it boasts a moderately high heat distortion temperature. To further enhance its melt processability and toughness, manufacturers often incorporate polystyrene into PPE resin formulations. This strategic addition helps optimize its performance characteristics while maintaining its inherent qualities.
- Excellent Resistant to steam, hot water, salt solutions, acids, bases, and mineral.
- Low Moisture Absorption due to its inherent chemical composition.
- Good Electrical Insulating Properties over a wide range of humidity and temperature ranges because of its extremely low water absorption.
