PPO Rod - Ø 6mm L 50mm

Details

SKU: 1000088133 Product Code: PH30-RD-000106
PPO Rod is a rigid form of polyphenylene oxide, designed for high-strength machining applications where dimensional stability and resistance to moisture are critical. With its excellent dielectric properties, thermal stability, and toughness, PPO rods are used across industries such as electronics, automotive, and fluid handling. Specific applications include machined insulators in electrical assemblies, lightweight automotive components, and chemically resistant fittings. In research, PPO rods are investigated for mechanical creep resistance, oxidative stability, and compatibility in blends with other polymers such as polystyrene. Their combination of machinability, rigidity, and resistance to hydrolysis ensures PPO rods remain vital in high-performance industrial applications and experimental studies where stable and reliable thermoplastics are required.
