FLEX NORYL™ Resin WCP841
SABIC's Specialties Business FLEX NORYL WCA955 resin is a flexible, non-reinforced injection moldable blend of Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) + Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene (SEBS) + Polyolefin. This material contains non-halogenated flame retardant and carries a UL94 flame rating of V0 at 6mm. FLEX NORYL WCA955 resin is intended for evaluation in over-molding applications such as plugs, strain reliefs, and connectors. It has a Shore A Hardness reading of 84 and exhibits low specific gravity, very low water absorption, and dimensional stability.

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.; ʳ UL Ratings shown on the technical datasheet might not cover the full range of thicknesses, colors and regions. For details, please see the UL Yellow Card.; 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.
