Insulation, Flame retardant, Water resistance, Low density
High performance modified polyphenylene ether resin
Iupiace™ is our modified polyphenylene ether resin (modified PPE resin). It is an amorphous engineered plastic composed mainly of polyphenylene ether resin (PPE resin) and polystyrene resin (PS resin). It has excellent electrical characteristics, flame retardancy, dimensional stability, and heat resistance, and has the smallest density among engineering plastics. In addition to its electrical properties, flame retardancy, and dimensional stability, it is used in a wide range of applications, including the use of interior electrical and electronic OA equipment, as well as automotive exterior parts and water-related parts such as pumps that make the most of water resistance.
Features of Iupiace™
- Electrical characteristics (insulation, low dielectric constant, low dielectric dissipation factor)
- Flame retardant (self-extinguishing)
- Water resistance (no hydrolysis, low water absorption, water absorption property changes minimum)
- Low density
- Heat resistance (high load deflection temperature, physical stability by heat treatment)
- Dimensional stability, low molding shrinkage
- Alkali and acid resistant
- Durability (stable rigidity, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, etc. over a wide temperature range)
- Releasability, flowability, and a wide molding temperature range

Examples of applications
Terminal block, AC adapter
Iupiace™ with superior electrical properties is suitable for electrical and electronic components.
We have obtained UL standards for flame retardant grades with a wide range of heat-resistant temperatures, so we are able to propose optimal materials that match the environmental temperatures in which the products are used and the design of components.
Ignition coil
Iupiace™ is ideal for use because of its extremely high dielectric breakdown strength and heat resistance required of the ignition coil.
Battery case
We offer several grades with electrical characteristics, flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and low warpage performance that are suitable for battery cases.
Special Iupiace™ with improved tracking resistance, flame retardance and rigidity, respectively, contributes to enhanced battery functionality.
Junction BOX of solar panel
For photovoltaic power generation components such as junction BOX, we can propose grades that have obtained various required standards and certifications such as flame retardancy (UL94 V-0, 5VA, etc.), tracking-resistance, weather-resistance (UL746C f1), long-term properties (UL746B RTI), and heat resistance such as ball pressure temperature.
Pipe, joint
Iupiace™ is highly resistant to hydrolysis and has little change in physical properties due to contact with (heat) water. It can contribute to resin for water contact applications such as pipes and fittings. Because of its high resistance to acids and alkalis, it can also be used for chemical contact applications.
