PPO PX9406-701 Flame Retardant Grade With UL94 V-0 Certification
Product Spotlights
As a specialized manufacturer based in Shanghai, China, Shanghai Yunshan Plasticizing Co., Ltd. is proud to introduce our PPO PX9406-701 Flame Retardant Grade. This high-performance engineering plastic is specifically formulated to meet the stringent UL94 V-0 certification, offering a reliable solution for applications where fire safety is paramount. We understand the critical need for materials that not only perform under demanding conditions but also comply with international safety standards, and our PX9406-701 grade is engineered to deliver on both fronts.
Our product combines the inherent excellent properties of Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) with advanced flame retardant technology. This results in a material that provides superior fire resistance without significantly compromising other key mechanical and thermal characteristics. For industries such as electronics, automotive, and industrial equipment, this grade represents a smart choice for enhancing product safety and reliability.
Core Product Highlights & Technical Advantages:
Exceptional Flame Retardancy: The primary feature is its compliance with the UL94 V-0 standard, indicating the highest level of flame retardancy for plastics. This means the material stops burning within 10 seconds after ignition and does not drip flaming particles that could ignite other materials.
Maintained PPO Performance: While achieving V-0 rating, the material retains many of the desirable properties of standard PPO, including good dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and a high heat deflection temperature.
Good Electrical Properties: PPO naturally offers stable electrical insulation properties, which are preserved in this flame retardant grade, making it suitable for electrical housings, connectors, and circuit breaker components.
Processability: The grade is designed for compatibility with standard thermoplastic processing methods like injection molding and extrusion, allowing for efficient manufacturing of complex parts.
Chemical Resistance: It exhibits good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, acids, and bases, contributing to long-term durability in harsh environments.
Detailed Technical Specifications & Typical Properties:
The following table outlines some of the key typical properties of the PPO PX9406-701 Flame Retardant Grade. Please note that specific values can vary based on processing conditions and final part design. We recommend consulting our technical team for application-specific data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: What does UL94 V-0 certification mean for this PPO grade?A: The UL94 V-0 certification is a rigorous fire safety standard. It indicates that this material, when tested according to UL94 procedures, exhibits the highest level of flame retardancy. It self-extinguishes within a very short time after the ignition source is removed and does not produce flaming drips.
Q2: Is the flame retardant property permanent or does it degrade over time?A: The flame retardant additives in our PX9406-701 grade are compounded into the polymer matrix during manufacturing. This integration generally provides a permanent flame retardant effect throughout the life of the molded part, assuming it is not exposed to conditions that severely degrade the polymer itself.
Q3: Can this grade be used for outdoor applications?A: PPO has good resistance to moisture and many environmental factors. However, for long-term outdoor exposure, factors like UV resistance should be considered. The flame retardant properties are not typically affected by weathering, but we recommend testing for specific outdoor use cases.
Q4: How does the flame retardant additive affect other mechanical properties?A: Our formulation aims to balance flame retardancy with maintaining key PPO properties. There might be a slight trade-off in some areas like impact strength compared to non-flame retardant PPO grades, but critical properties like heat resistance, dimensional stability, and electrical insulation are well preserved.
Q5: What are the most common processing methods for PPO PX9406-701?A: It is primarily designed for injection molding, which is the most common method for producing intricate parts from engineering thermoplastics. It can also be processed via extrusion for profiles, sheets, or tubes. Standard molding equipment and parameters for PPO are generally applicable.
Q6: Is this material available in different colors?A: Yes. We can supply the material in standard colors. Custom color matching is also available upon request to meet specific aesthetic or functional requirements of your product.
Q7: What industries typically use this type of flame retardant PPO?A: Key industries include Electrical & Electronics (connectors, housings, circuit breakers), Automotive (under-hood components, electrical systems), Industrial Equipment (control boxes, machinery parts), and applications in Public Transportation and Building Components where fire safety codes apply.
Q8: Can you provide technical support or samples for testing?A: Absolutely. As a manufacturer, we offer technical support to help with material selection, processing recommendations, and application feasibility. We also provide samples for your in-house testing and evaluation to ensure the material meets your performance criteria before bulk ordering.
