Polyphenylenether belongs to the group of amorphous materials and can be used in temperatures ranging from -50°C to approximately 105°C. PPE exhibits a high impact strength, a low water absorption, a very high dimensional stability and a very low tendency to creep. The electrical properties will not be influenced by the surrounding frequencies and therefore can be used in a lot of applications in electrical engineering Properties - high dimensional stability
- low tendency to creep
- high thermostability
- high impact strength
- good electrical characteristics over a wide frequency range
- high resistance to hydrolysis
- self-extinguishing
- not resistant to some hydrocarbons
Applications include parts for electrical engineering and household utensils, shafts, gear wheels, and parts in the hydrolysis. |
