| PPO available on the market today is typically mixed with polystyrene or other polymers to make it processable. However, these resins degrade the excellent mechanical and flammability properties of PPO. POSS® Flow incorporated into pure PPO resin decreases melt viscosity, making injection molding possible. Because no polymer diluents are used, the properties of PPO are retained. This resin is transparent, low density, has an exceptionally high heat distortion temperature, and very low flammability. This resin is a lower cost alternative to high temperature polymers such as PEEK and PPSU. |
