描述
NORYL GFN20F Resin is a 20% glass fiber reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS), manufactured by SABIC. This injection moldable grade exhibits very low moisture absorption, high strength, hydrolytic stability, low warpage, low specific gravity, and dimensional stability.
NORYL GFN20F carries a UL746C outdoor suitability rating of F1 along with FDA food contact compliance and NSF 61 listings in several colors. The properties of this material make it an excellent candidate for water management applications such as water filter and meter components, pump housings / impellers, shower + faucet components, and valves. See NORYL GFN20 resin for NON FDA / NSF version. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during the manufacturing process. Physical property data is determined using test methods established by ASTM International and ISO, the globally recognized standards organizations.
