描述
NORYL GFN2 Resin is a 20% glass fiber reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS), manufactured by SABIC. This general-purpose injection moldable grade exhibits very low moisture absorption, high strength, hydrolytic stability, low warpage, low specific gravity, and dimensional stability.
NORYL GFN2 carries a UL746C outdoor suitability rating of F1 and is an excellent candidate for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications including construction, electrical components and displays, lawn and garden equipment. See NORYL GFN2F resin for FDA food contact compliant / NSF certified version. Physical property data is determined using test methods established by ASTM International and ISO, the globally recognized standards organizations.
