Modified Polyphenylene Ether, mPPE Insulated Wire & Cable – Environmentally Friendly

Galaxy is a leading supplier of custom and stock Modified Polyphenylene Ether  (mPPE) wires or cables. Galaxy can supply mPPE wires and cables, both stock and custom, in various AWG sizes, voltage ratings, compounds, shielding constructions, and conductor counts. mPPE is sometimes referred to as environmentally friendly or eco-friendly, because it is 100% recyclable.  

What is Modified Polyphenylene Ether / mPPE?

Modified Polyphenylene Ether, also referred to as mPPE, is a thermoplastic material that was first created for use in the automotive industry. Due to the excellent dielectric properties, mPPE has a much smaller wall thickness. This reduction is weight is why it is utilized by the automotive industry to help with fuel efficiency. If weight or environmental concerns exist, mPPE is an excellent choice for wire or cable requirements.
