NORYL® – PPO – Polyphenylene Oxide
Noryl® PPO material is used frequently in fluid handling applications due to the very low moisture absorption.
Noryl® is similar to Acetal and P.E.T. but carries a better UL rating.
Noryl® rods and Noryl® sheets are available from stock. It is great for electrical applications requiring high die-electric strength. Noryl® is a trade name of Sabic Plastics (formerly GE Plastics).
Noryl® is a High Tech Performance Plastic.
We Specialize in Wholesale Engineering Plastics, Mechanical Plastics and High Performance Plastics


Why you should use Noryl®:
- It has excellent electrical properties
- It has excellent Fire Retardant Rating
- Has extremely low water absorption
- It is vacuum formable, machinable and bondable
- Has good temperature resistance
- Readily available in Sheet or Rod
- Noryl is ITAR compliant, and Noryl is RoHS compliant
This material is a strong engineering plastic with excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. One of the lowest moisture absorption material, with very low thermal expansion. PPO also retains most of its flexural and tensile strength as well as its resistance to creep at elevated temperatures.
Frequently used in:
- Fluid Handling, Pump and Valve – Low Moisture Parts
- Electrical Housings, Cases and Components
- Instrumentation and Semiconductor Components
- High Continuous Temperature Environments (185 degrees F ; 265 degrees F)
- Flame Retardant Parts Needing UL-94 V-1 (at .058″ thickness)
