描述
NORYL EFN4230 Resin is a high heat, transparent, non-reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) and general purpose polystyrene (GPPS), manufactured by SABIC. This extrusion grade material exhibits excellent dimensional stability, low warpage, low moisture absorption, and hydrolytic stability. It is an excellent candidate for industrial packaging applications. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during the manufacturing process. Physical property data is determined using test methods established by ASTM International, the globally recognized standards organization.
The composition ratio of this grade is approximately PPE/PS = 70/30. For FDA Food Contact compliant applications, please refer to the NORYL EFN4230S version.
