UNINOR PPO (blend of polyphenylene oxide and styrene) is an amorphous thermoplastic that offers a superior blend of physical strength, flame resistance, and outstanding electrical properties. Unlike many amorphous materials that tend to steadily lose strength as temperatures increase, UNINOR PPO maintains its high stiffness to temperatures in excess of 200°F. In addition, it's low moisture absorption and low coefficient of thermal expansion contribute to it being one of the most dimensionally stable materials available. UNINOR PPO has an excellent V-0 UL-94 flame rating at thicknesses of 0.24" and over.
For applications that require improved strength and stiffness, 30% glass fiber filled UNINOR Rg-30 is available. Nytef Plastics' UNINOR PPO stock shapes machine easily and are available in a full range of heavy gauge rod, plate and tubular bar sizes.
