NORYL™ Resin LTA6020

Name: NORYL™ Resin LTA6020
Brand: NORYL™ Resin

SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL™ LTA6020 resin is a non-reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) + polystyrene (PS). This injection moldable grade contains non-brominated, non-chlorinated flame retardant and carries a UL94 flame rating of 5VA at 2.5mm, 5VB at 2mm, and V0 at 1.5mm. NORYL™ LTA6020 exhibits good dimensional stability over a wide temperature range, high heat performance, low moisture uptake, and offers long-term aging / retention of mechanical properties. It is an excellent candidate for solar / photovoltaic (PV) junction boxes and outdoor electrical enclosures.
