Noryl PPO (Polyphenylene Oxide) Sheet & Rod: Properties & Supply

Noryl PPO Sheet and Noryl PPO Rod

Noryl® PPO material is used frequently in fluid handling applications due to the very low moisture absorption.

Noryl PPO is similar to Acetal and P.E.T. but carries a better UL rating.

Noryl PPO rods and sheets are in stock and available in a number of sizes in black. It is great for electrical applications requiring high die-electric strength and is a trade name of Sabic Plastics (formerly GE Plastics).

Noryl PPO is a High Tech Performance Plastic.

Other Plastic Materials

Why you should use Sabic 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
  • Material is ITAR compliant, and it is RoHS compliant

Noryl PPO Machined Nozzle

Noryl PPO is frequently used in Fluid Handling, Pump and Valve (for low moisture parts), Electrical Housings, Cases and Components, Instrumentation and Semiconductor Components, High Continuous Temperature Environments (185 degrees F ; 265 degrees F), and Flame Retardant Parts Needing UL-94 V-1 (at .058″ thickness). This material is a strong engineering plastic with excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, very low moisture absorption, and low thermal expansion. Noryl PPO also retains most of its flexural and tensile strength as well as its resistance to creep at elevated temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What are the key advantages of using Sabic Noryl PPO for engineering applications?

Sabic Noryl PPO offers excellent electrical properties, an excellent Fire Retardant Rating (UL 94 V-1 at .058"), and extremely low water absorption. It is a strong engineering plastic with very low thermal expansion and retains its flexural and tensile strength, as well as resistance to creep, at elevated temperatures.

2 In what types of industrial applications is Noryl PPO commonly utilized?

Noryl PPO is frequently used in fluid handling, pump and valve components due to its low moisture absorption. It's also ideal for electrical housings, cases, and components, instrumentation and semiconductor parts, and flame-retardant applications requiring high continuous temperature resistance (up to 265°F).

3 What forms and sizes of Noryl PPO are available for purchase?

Noryl PPO is readily available in both sheet and rod forms. Sheets range from .060″ to 6″ thick in 48″ x 96″ dimensions, primarily in black, with some thicknesses offering a hair-cell finish. Rods are also stocked in various sizes, typically in black.

4 Is Noryl PPO compliant with relevant industry regulations?

Yes, Noryl PPO material is both ITAR compliant and RoHS compliant. This ensures it meets important standards for international trade and hazardous substance restrictions, making it suitable for a wide range of regulated applications.
