Norylux modified PPO is a strong
engineering plastic with outstanding mechanical, thermal, and
electrical properties. Low moisture absorption and low thermal
expansion make Norylux one of the most dimensionally stable
thermoplastics available. Norylux is widely used for electrical
housings and structural components since it has excellent
insulating properties, flame resistance, and dimensional
stability over a wide range of service temperatures. Norylux is
often selected for fluid handling applications since it has low
moisture absorption and excellent strength and stiffness.
Norylux is easy to fabricate, paint, and glue.
The following physical property
information is based on typical values of the base modified
polyphenylene oxide resin. |
