Xyron

ImageXyron™ resins are engineering resins, composed of polyphenylene ether (PPE) modified by polystyrene (PS), polyamide (PA), or other polymeric materials.

PS-modified Xyron™ has an amorphouse molecular structure that provides excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties. It also exhibits outstanding superiority in flame retardancy (free from halogens), electrical properties, hot-water resistance, and reworkability.

PA-modified Xyron™ grades provide special heat resistance and oil resistance, in addition to the properties of PS-modified Xyron™ grades.

PP-modified Xyron™ grades
