3.1 Overview
Xyron PPE/PS is amorphous in molecular structure. It is outstanding in halogen free flame retardancy, electrical properties, hot-water resistance, and workability, and provides high levels of heat resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties.
As a polymer alloy of polyphenylene ether and polystyrene, it constitutes the main category of Xyron resins, in a broad array of types and grades ranging from non-reinforced high-flow to ultra low warpage, high flame retardancy, and other special versions. As shown in the following sections, it provides outstanding performance in fields of application ranging from electronic and electrical to automotive and industrial.

3.2.1 Overview
The non-reinforced high-flow Xyron PPE/PS grades are designed primarily for high flowability, with heat resistance as a secondary consideration. They are Xyron 220V, 220Z, 240V, 240Z, 240W, 100V, 100Z, 140V, 140Z, and 200H.
Xyron 220V, 240V, 220Z, and 240Z are particularly appropriate for housings and other large-size products, due to their combination of flame-retardancy and flowability.
Xyron 100V, 140V, 100Z, and 140Z provide maximal flowability.
Xyron 240V, 240Z, 140V, and 140Z are formulated to minimize gas evolution and prevent the formation of mold deposits.
All of these non-reinforced high-flow Xyron grades are designed to meet UL, CSA, and other strict standards, and are the materials of choice for business and communications equipment housings |
