PPO (POLYPHENYLENE OKSIT)

PPO (Polyphenylene Oxide) is an engineering plastic offering excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and high impact resistance for electrical and industrial applications.

Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) is an impact-resistant, rigid polymer with very low moisture absorption. PPO is generally used in modified form, and the most common grades available on the market are beige and black products reinforced with 30% glass fiber.

It has excellent thermal resistance and can be used over a wide temperature range (approximately -40°C to +140°C). Due to its low moisture absorption, finished products exhibit excellent dimensional stability. PPO is an opaque material with high resistance to water degradation (hydrolysis).
