Norylux modified PPO is a strong engineering plastic with outstanding mechanical, thermal, and
electrical properties. Low moisture absorption and low thermal expansion make Norylux one of the
most dimensionally stable thermoplastics available. Norylux is widely used for electrical housings
and structural components since it has excellent insulating properties, flame resistance, and
dimensional stability over a wide range of service temperatures. Norylux is often selected for fluid
handling applications since it has low moisture absorption and excellent strength and stiffness.
Norylux is easy to fabricate, paint, and glue.
The following physical property information is based on typical values of the base modified
polyphenylene oxide resin.
