描述
NORYL GFN2BIO3 Resin is a 20% glass fiber reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) and polystyrene (PS) with bio-based content, manufactured by SABIC. This general-purpose injection moldable grade is formulated with ISCC+ certified renewable PPE resin feedstocks, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising performance.
The material exhibits very low moisture absorption, high strength, hydrolytic stability, low warpage, low specific gravity, and dimensional stability. NORYL GFN2BIO3 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, displays, and lawn and garden equipment.
SABIC’s bio-circular NORYL resins can be used as drop-in replacements for traditional fossil-based grades, with properties and processing similar to those of equivalent grades. Bio-circular NORYL resins offer lower greenhouse gas emission potential (GWP) up to 70% CO₂ reductions. See NORYL GFN2F resin for FDA food contact compliant / NSF certified 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.
