NORYL™ Resin FM3020V
SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL™ FM3020V resin is a 30% glass fiber and mineral filled high modulus foamable blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) + polystyrene (PS) This grade offers up to 9% weight reduction at 5mm wall and contains non-brominated, non-chlorinated flame retardant with a UL94 flame rating of 5VA and V1 at 5mm. NORYL™ FM3020V resin offers fast cycle time, improved processing, and exhibits good dimensional stability and low moisture absorption. 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 and medical equipment.
