PPE/HIPS Blends

PPE refers to polyphenylene ehter homopolymer or copolymer. PPE is naturally compatible with polystyrene. Attributes of PPE/HIPS blends include high heat distortion temperature, good dimensional stability, retention of properties at high temperatures and good flame retardancy. PPE/PS blends can be filled with glass fibers, mineral fillers, or graphite fibers. These fillers are often used to reduce mold shrinkage PPE/HIPS blends and alloys are used in a number of applications ranging from automotive control panels, business machine housings, connectors, telecommunications equipment, appliances, water immersion products and medical applications.
