ThermaX™ PPE-PS (Polyphenylene Ether + Polystyrene)

ThermaX™ PPE-PS is a polyphenylene ether alloy which exhibits exceptional thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance properties. Our PPE-PS filament is made from a UL94 V0 rated flame retardant base resin. ThermaX™ PPE has been an ideal material for a wide array of applications in demanding markets such as aerospace, automotive, industrial, electronics, and telecommunications.

Benefits of PPE-PS include:

• High thermal properties with an HDT of 120°C
• Flame retardant rated UL94 V-0
• UV resistance making it suitable for outdoor applications, rated F1 per UL 746C
• Amorphous structure granting it very low, near isotropic shrinkage
• Excellent chemical resistance to most aqueous solutions, detergents, acids, and bases
• Excellent long-term hydrolytic stability making it very stable in boiling water
• Very low moisture absorption
• Stable dielectric constant and dissipation factor over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies
