NORYL™ Resin HNA055
SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL HNA055 resin is a non-reinforced blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) + polystyrene (PS). This injection moldable grade was designed to withstand extended duty high heat autoclave sterilization >2500 cycles and exhibits good chemical resistance to lipids and typical hospital cleansers. In additional, this grade is US FDA Food Contact approved, biocompatible (ISO10993 or USP Class VI), RoHS compliant, and it is subject to SABIC’s Healthcare management of change and formulation lock. NORYL HNA055 resin may be an excellent candidate for applications requiring extended duty sterilization cycles such as sterilization trays, dental trays, surgical instrument handles, and animal cages. 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.

ᵍ Measurements made from Laboratory test Coupon. Actual shrinkage may vary outside of range due to differences in processing conditions, equipment, part geometry and tool design. It is recommended that mold shrinkage studies be performed with surrogate or legacy tooling prior to cutting tools for new molded article.; ⁷ Injection Molding parameters are only mentioned as general guidelines. These may not apply or may need adjustment in specific situations such as low shot sizes, large part molding, thin wall molding and gas-assist molding.; ¹¹ The information stated on Technical Datasheets should be used as indicative only for material selection purposes and not be utilized as specification or used for part or tool design.
