TECANYL® Calendered Sheet
Polyphenylene Ether, Modified

- The thin gauges are calendered - the modified PPE is drawn between heated precision rollers into flat stock of consistent thickness with a smooth finish on both faces, instead of being machined out of thick plate. Stock runs .040" to 1/8" in four gauges, in sizes from 12"x12" to 24"x48". For thicker sections, extruded TECANYL® plate is the correct product.
Thin calendered PPE is used where dimensional stability in water and good electrical properties matter more than outright strength: insulating washers and barriers, spacers, shims, gaskets, pump and valve components, water handling and metering parts, and electrical enclosure hardware. The material's near-zero moisture absorption is the reason it is chosen over nylon in wet or humid service, since parts hold size and stiffness where nylon would swell. Parts punch and die-cut cleanly at these gauges. Avoid chlorinated and aromatic solvents, which attack it. - Modified polyphenylene ether with only 0.07 percent water absorption
- Electrical properties barely shift across humidity and temperature
- 500 V/mil dielectric strength and 2.7 dielectric constant at 60 Hz
- Dissipation factor 0.0007 with 1 × 10¹⁷ ohm-cm volume resistivity
- 9,000 psi tensile strength at yield, 350,000 psi tensile modulus
- Heat deflection 279°F at 66 psi, long-term service 220°F
- UL 94 V-1 or V-0 depending on section thickness
- Calendered thin sheet - punches, shears and die-cuts cleanly
