描述
NORYL ZM3640 Resin is a mineral reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS), manufactured by SABIC. This injection moldable grade contains non-brominated, non-chlorinated flame retardant and carries a UL94 flame rating of V-1 at 1.5mm.
NORYL ZM3640 Resin exhibits high heat resistance, low warpage, and good dimensional stability. It offers hydrolytic stability, low creep sensitivity, good stiffness, good moldability, and good mold release. The mineral reinforcement provides enhanced structural integrity while maintaining low warpage characteristics. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during the manufacturing process. All colors are customizable via SABIC’s ColorXpress tool.
This material is an excellent candidate for printer chassis applications, as well as electronic components, mobile phones, computers, tablets, and document handling equipment. Physical property data is determined using test methods established by ASTM International, the globally recognized standards organization.
