NORYL™ Resin GFN3
SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL™ GFN3 resin is a 30% glass fiber reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) + polystyrene (PS). This general-purpose injection moldable grade exhibits very low moisture absorption, high strength, hydrolytic stability, Low warpage, low specific gravity, and dimensional stability. NORYL™ GFN3 carries a UL746C outdoor suitability rating of F2 and is an excellent candidate for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications including construction, electrical components + displays, lawn and garden equipment. *See NORYL™ GFN3F resin for FDA food compliant / 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.
