Noryl

Overview

The NORYL family of modified PPE resins consists of amorphous blends of PPO™ resin (polyphenylene ether) and polystyrene. They combine the inherent benefits of PPO resin (affordable high heat resistance, good electrical properties, excellent hydrolytic stability and the ability to use non-halogen FR packages), with excellent dimensional stability, good processibility and low specific gravity. NORYL resins offer a good balance of mechanical and chemical properties, and may be suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Benefits:

• High dimensional stability.
• Low tendency to creep.
• High thermo-stability.
• High impact strength.
• Good electrical characteristics over a wide frequency range.
• High resistance to hydrolysis.
• Self-extinguishing.

Weaknesses:

• Not resistant to some hydrocarbons.

Applications:

It can be precision machined for intricate components with tight tolerances and is one of the most commonly used engineering plastics for mechanical applications such as:

• Electrical engineering.
• Household utensils.
• Gear wheels.
• Shafts.
• Parts in hydrolysis.
