Iupiace™、LEMALLOY™(modified PPE resin)

A variable PPE resin with superior electrical characteristics, flame retardancy, and impact resistance suitable for applications from housings and chassis for household electronics/OA equipment to automobiles

The variable PPE resin “Iupiace” is an non-crystalline engineering plastic developed with the unique technology of MGC with polyphenyl ether (PPE) and polystyrene (PS) as the main ingredients.It is one of the five major engineering plastics, characterized by a good balance of electrical characteristics, flame retardancy, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and formability, etc., and has the smallest specific gravity among engineering plastics.It is a material used in a wide range of fields such as automotive components and water circulation components for pumps that exhibit heat and water resistance, in addition to being used in housings and chassis for OA equipment, and the development of new applications is also expected.

  • Stable rigidity, impact resistance, and fatigue resistance in a wide temperature range
  • Superior dielectric characteristics (low permittivity, low dielectric tangent)
  • Superior heat resistance, flame retardancy, and self-extinguishing
  • Forming characteristics and dimensional stability (suitable for precision molding applications)
  • The low specific gravity enables economical weight reduction

Main Applications

  • OA equipment
    Housings and chassis for copiers, fax machines, various printers, and PCs
  • Automobiles
    Hubcaps, instrument panels, louvers, body parts, etc.
  • Electrical/electronic devices
    Coil bobbins, LED cases, motor components, IC cases, adapters, etc.
  • Household electronics
    Housings and various parts for video cameras, air conditioners, rice cookers, humidifiers, etc.
  • Others
    Housings for camera parts, impellers for various pumps, and housings for submersible pumps, etc.
