    Properties

    HOZOLE is a yellow-brown polymer powder with a complete, aromatic molecule structure. Products made from HOZOLE are non-flammable and demonstrate high strength properties, chemical resistance and temperature stability, as well as having low wear and friction coefficients. The heat deflection temperature (at 0.45 MPa) is 435°C (815°F) and the decomposition starts at 540°C (1004°F).
