NORYL GTX™ Resin GTX985
SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL GTX985 resin is a conductive, 18% mineral reinforced alloy of Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) + Polyamide (PA). This injection moldable grade combines high stiffness, excellent chemical resistance, and high heat resistance. NORYL GTX985 is conductive for primerless electrostatic painting and is an excellent candidate for automotive exterior trim applications. 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.
