Microglas® Glass Flake for Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) Applications

Description

Polyphenylene ether is often used to mould complex components, requiring high mechanical properties and close dimensional tolerances. Microglas® Glass Flake products can be used solely or together with chopped glass strand to provide these characteristics.

The principle additional benefits of using Microglas® Glass Flake products are:

• Reduced warpage

• Improved dimensional stability

• Reduced anisotropy of shrinkage and mechanical properties
