Noryl / PPO

The ideal balance of dimensional stability, strength and moisture resistance.

While many amorphous thermoplastics lose strength at elevated temperatures, NORYL/PPO retains its rigidity, impact strength and dimensional stability. even at 230F continuous use. This balance of properties, coupled with inherent moisture and chemical resistance, makes it ideal for a wide range of electrical insulation components.

For added strength and stiffness, NORYL/PPO can be reinforced with glass fibre fill. The material is easily machined, available in stock shapes, and can be thermoformed.
