Noryl
The Advanced Engineering Polymer for Strength and Versatility
What is Noryl?
Noryl is a high-performance thermoplastic blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) and polystyrene (PS) known for its exceptional mechanical strength, lightweight properties, and outstanding dimensional stability. It offers a unique balance of heat resistance, electrical insulation, and impact strength, making it widely used in automotive, electronics, industrial, and consumer goods applications.
At Stephens Plastics, we specialise in Noryl plastic solutions, ensuring our customers receive superior engineering-grade materials tailored to their specific requirements.
Why Choose Noryl for Your Application?
Noryl is an industry-leading material offering exceptional electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and impact strength. At Stephens Plastics, we recommend Noryl plastic because it provides:
- High Strength & Dimensional Stability – Maintains shape and structure under mechanical stress.
- Exceptional Electrical Insulation – Ideal for high-voltage applications.
- Superior Chemical & Hydrolysis Resistance – Withstands moisture, acids, and industrial chemicals.
- Lightweight & High-Impact Resistance – Stronger than traditional plastics while reducing overall weight.
- Good Heat Resistance – Suitable for applications requiring exposure to high temperatures.
Noryl vs. Other Engineering Polymers: How Does It Compare?
Selecting the right engineering-grade thermoplastic is essential for product longevity and performance. Here’s how Noryl plastic compares:
| Feature | Noryl (PPE/PS Blend) | Polycarbonate | ABS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Resistance | Excellent | High | Moderate |
| Chemical Resistance | Outstanding | Good | Moderate |
| Electrical Insulation | Exceptional | Good | Moderate |
| Weight | Lightweight | Moderate | Moderate |
| Hydrolysis Resistance | Excellent | Moderate | Low |
Unlike traditional ABS and polycarbonate materials, Noryl sheets provide superior heat and chemical resistance, making them ideal for high-performance applications.
