描述
NORYL FNH2160 Resin is a foamable, unreinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS), manufactured by SABIC. This structural foam molding grade contains non-brominated, non-chlorinated flame retardant with a UL94 flame rating of 5VA at 3.9mm and V-1 at 3mm.
NORYL FNH2160 Resin offers 20% weight reduction at 6.35mm (0.250″) wall thickness compared to solid molding. It delivers fast cycle time, improved processing, good dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, hydrolytic stability, low creep sensitivity, good stiffness, and low warpage. The unique combination of properties in this structural foam material allows for designing optimum wall thickness in computer and business machine applications, electrical enclosures/housings, medical equipment, and hospital bed rails and components. Physical property data is determined using test methods established by ASTM International and ISO, the globally recognized standards organizations.
Regional variations in properties may exist between Americas, Asia, and Europe grades. Please consult the specific regional TDS for exact specifications.
