XYRON (Asahi Kasei)

Production and sales began in March 1979. Grades include PPE/PS alloys, PPE/PA alloys, and PPE/PP alloys.

  -   Features: Excellent heat resistance, flame retardance, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties.
  -   Application fields: Automotive parts, electrical & electronic parts, industrial parts.
  -   High-performance grade example: L series - with greatly improved flowability and exceptionally low gas evolution.
  -   Capacity: 83,000 tons/year (35,000 tons/year in Japan, 48,000 tons/year in Singapore).
