Polyphenylene Ether (PPE), also called Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO), is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic, which is rarely used in its pure form due to difficulties in processing and poor impact and heat resistance. It is mainly used as blend with polystyrene (PS) or polyamide (PA) and the resulting blend is called Modified Polyphenylene Ether (mPPE) or modified Polyphenylene Oxide (mPPO). Mixing it with polystyrene or polyamide in any ratio could compensate for the disadvantages of pure PPE resin. mPPE can also be filled with fillers such as glass fibers to selectively adjust its features for withstanding greater thermal and mechanical loads.
Modified Polyphenylene Ether (mPPE) is primarily used to produce molded components offering better thermal and dimensional stability and are widely used in applications such as automotive, appliances, office automation equipment and electrical & electronics. Medical applications of PPE are also common, specifically for producing instruments that need to be sterilized frequently. Automotive & Transportation and Electrical & Electronics industries are the leading consumers of mPPE worldwide with an estimated market share of around 29% each in 2023, followed by OA Equipment & Appliances estimated at 21%.
The market for end-use applications of mPPE analyzed in this report includes:
