Polyphenylene ether alloys

Ultranyl . [BASF/Engineering Plastics BASF AG] Polyamide and polyphenylene ether alloy for inj. molding of tech, parts. 

Modified Poiyphenyiene Ether Thermoplastic polyphenylene ether alloys with impact polystyrene. Has good impact strength, resistance to heat and fire, but poor resistance to solvents. Processed by injection and structural foam molding and extrusion. Used in auto parts, appliances, and telecommunication devices. Also called MPE, MPO, and Modified Polyphenylene Oxide. 

Polyphenylene oxide and polyphenylene ether are oxides or ethers like polyoxymethylene but an aromatic unit replaces the methylene group leading to — ( — C6H4 — O—) — Polyphenylene ether has too high a glass transition temperature to be easily processed and is marketed in the form of alloys with other resins, such as ... 

Summary of some general assessments concerning chemical behaviour at room temperature of polyphenylene-ether and polypropylene, which are not necessarily representative of PPE/PP alloys or of all grades of PPE and PP. These general indications should be verified by consultation with the producer of the selected alloys and by tests under operating conditions.

Chapter 9, Polyphenylene Ether Blends and Alloys, from GE Plastics describes traditional and new polyphenylene-ether grades based on GE Plastics Noryl . GE Plastics originally invented polyphenylene ether (PPE), its blends and alloys, and PPO polyphenylene oxide. Noryl is typically... 

The blends described in the EDCPB provide a cross section of commercial alloys available in Asia, Europe, and North America. The focus is on blends with the five principal engineering resins polyamides, thermoplastic polyesters, polycarbonates, polyoxymethylenes (acetals), and polyphenylene ethers. There are but few examples of the commodity (and these mainly with polypropylene) as well as with high performance specialty resin blends. This may leave a wrong impression of the global blend industry.

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has poor resistance to UV. Reinforced grades are available and, where some degree of UV resistance is required, carbon black may be added. Polyphenylene oxide (PPO) and polysulfone are susceptible to photodegradation due to their aromatic content, although PPO in its usual form as a stabilized polymer alloy is somewhat better. It is inadvisable to use any of these polymers for prolonged exposure without protection.
