PPE - Polyphenylene Ether 

TECANYL Ensinger Plastics

PPE material (chemically known as Polyphenylene Ether) is manufactured by Ensinger in standard stock shapes for machining, and is extruded in sheet and rod. PPE polymer, exhibits unusually low moisture absorption because of its inherent composition. Therefore, good electrical insulating properties are achieved over a wide range of humidity and temperature conditions. Chemical attack from water, most salt solutions, acids and bases is also minimal with PPE material. 

PPE material properties and specifications

PPE Plastics offer:

  • Good electrical insulating properties
  • Long term dimensional stability
  • Superior impact strength
  • Light weight
  • Thermoformable capability
  • Good hydrolytic stability
