# **Noryl versus PPO**

**What is the difference between Noryl and PPO (or Modified PPO)?**

**[Noryl®](http://www.iplasticsupply.com/materials/noryl-ppo-polyphenyleneoxide-sheet-rod/ "Noryl - PPO Sheet and Rod") is a trade name for Sabic Plastics (formerly GE Plastics) for their Modified PPO (Modified **************Poly********************************PhenyleneOxide).**************** ****************Sabic is the world leader in engineering and mechanical plastic resins.****************

****************This resin is a remarkably versatile material.************** PPO exhibits unusually low moisture absorption **************and great machinability. Noryl**************® **************is an excellent choice for water filtration and fluid handling parts. Noryl has excellent impact resistance, long term dimensional stability and is light weight. Noryl**************® **************has exceptional electrical properties (properties boosted by lack of water absorption). It can be thermoformed and machined to tight tolerances. It carries a UL flammability rating between UL 94-HB to UL 94 V-1. The primary specification covering PPO (Noryl**************®**************) is ASTM-D-4349.****************

****************Sabic Noryl is available in two standard unfilled varieties, EN-185 and EN-265. The number indicates the heat deflection temperature of the material. This material is easy to machine, holds tolerances well, and is great for water immersion applications. A complete data sheet is found [here](http://www.iplasticsupply.com/materials/noryl-ppo-polyphenyleneoxide-sheet-rod/ "Noryl PPO Sheet and Rod")![Noryl EN-265 machined nozzle](https://iplasticsupply.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/noryl_nozzle.jpg).****************

****************We stock this material in both sheet and rod. The standard natural color for Noryl is opaque Black and is stocked as the EN-265 grade of************** resin. Noryl® is also available as a glass filled material which enhances both the mechanical and thermal properties of the resin. Chemical attack from water, most salt solutions, acids and bases is also minimal with Noryl®.**
