NORYL™ Resin FNH2160

1 of 145 products in this brand
SABIC's Specialties Business NORYL™ FNH2160 resin is a foamable blend of polyphenylene ether (PPE) + polystyrene (PS) and offers 20% weight reduction at 6.35mm (0.250”) wall. This material contains non-brominated, non-chlorinated flame retardant with a UL94 flame rating of 5VA at 3.9 mm and V1 at 3mm. NORYL™ FNH2160 resin offers fast cycle time, improved processing, and exhibits good dimensional stability and low moisture absorption. The unique combination of properties in this structural foam material allows for designing optimum wall thickness in computer and business machine applications, electrical enclosures/housings, medical equipment, and hospital bed rails and components.
