PPO Polyphenylene Oxide

Another thermoplastic with excellent heat stability, dimensional stability and appreciable chemical resistance is the phenylene oxide polymer. The material may be found primarily in pump parts and certain other applications where impact strength, good modulus, and reasonable abrasion resistance are required. The chemical resistance of the material is good and the allowable temperature limit of 120 °C, under appropriate conditions, extends the attractiveness for use of the product. The cost requires specific need for an identifiable application before choosing the product over many less costly thermoplastics.
