NORYL GTX™ Resin GTX973
SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL GTX973 resin is a conductive, non-reinforced alloy of Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) + Polyamide (PA). This injection moldable grade is optimized to allow for in- or on-line primer-less electrostatic and powder coat painting. NORYL GTX973 resin exhibits high impact resistance and strength and is an excellent candidate for automotive painted applications such as body panels, fenders, and tank flaps. 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.
