FLEX NORYL™ Resin WCD933

1 of 26 products in this brand
SABIC's Specialties Business FLEX NORYL™ WCD933 resin is a flexible, non-reinforced extrudable blend of Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) + Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE). This material contains non-halogenated flame retardant and performance capable of meeting EN 50265-2-1 requirement. FLEX NORYL™ WCD795 resin is intended for evaluation in AC cable insulation applications such as HD 21.14 flexible cables. It has a Shore A Hardness reading of 93 and exhibits superior thermal stability, very low water absorption, good electric properties, and low specific gravity. Processing is typically conducted on standard extrusion equipment, and UL 1581 testing is conducted on 2.0mm wire with 0.12mm X 20 stranded copper conductor. 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.
