Altron PPO

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a technical datasheet for Altron Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) shapes, highlighting their excellent electrical insulating properties, stability, and mid-range temperature resistance, making them suitable for electrical/electronic applications.
Thermal Properties: The material has a glass transition temperature of 284°F and a heat deflection temperature of 260°F at 1.8 MPa. It can continuously operate at 200°F for 20,000 hours, with a noted decrease in tensile strength over time due to thermal-oxidative degradation.
Mechanical Properties: The tensile strength is 8300 PSI, with a tensile strain at break of 23%. The compressive strength is 13,200 PSI, and the flexural strength is 12,900 PSI. The material exhibits a Rockwell M hardness of 92.
Electrical Properties: The electric strength is 701 Volts/mil, with a surface resistivity of 10E12 Ohm/sq. These properties underscore the material's suitability for electrical insulation.
Miscellaneous: The material has a density of 1.08 g/cm³ and a water absorption rate of 0.10% after 24 hours. It is available in natural and black colors.
Recommendations: The datasheet emphasizes that the values provided are indicative and should not be used as material specification limits. It is crucial for customers to test and assess the suitability of the material for specific applications, considering factors like chemical resistance and practical experience.
Disclaimer: Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials does not guarantee the data and disclaims any legal or contractual obligations. The responsibility for testing and verifying the material's suitability for specific applications lies with the customer.

MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL GROUP Altron™ Polyphenylene Oxide PPO shapes are characterized by their excellent electrical insulating properties, great stability, and mid-range temperature resistance. These properties, in addition to good electrical characteristics, make these stock shapes an excellent choice for electrical/ electronic applications. ISO* ASTM* Test methods Note: 1 g/cm3 = 1,000 kg/m3 ; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm2 ; 1 kV/mm = 1 MV/m NYP: there is no yield point This table, mainly to be used for comparison purposes, is a valuable help in the choice of a material. The data listed here fall within the normal range of product properties of dry material. However, they are not guaranteed and they should not be used to establish material specification limits nor used alone as the basis of design. See the remaining notes on the next page.

Notes, see datasheet on page 1 1. The figures given for these properties are for the most part derived from raw material supplier data and other publications. 2. Values for this property are only given here for amorphous materials and for materials that do not show a melting temperature (PBI & PI). 3. Temperature resistance over a period of min. 20,000 hours. After this period of time, there is a decrease in tensile strength – measured at 23 °C – of about 50 % as compared with the original value. The temperature value given here is thus based on the thermal-oxidative degradation which takes place...
