NORYL™ Resin GFN3F
SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL™ GFN3F resin is a 30% glass fiber reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) + polystyrene (PS). This injection moldable grade exhibits very low moisture absorption, high strength, hydrolytic stability, Low warpage, low specific gravity, and dimensional stability. NORYL™ GFN3F carries a UL746C outdoor suitability rating of F2 along with FDA food contact compliance and NSF 61 listings in several colors. The properties of this material makes it an excellent candidate for water management applications such as water filter and meter components, pump housings / impellers, shower + faucet, and valves.*See NORYL™ GFN3 resin for NON FDA / NSF version. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.
