| GE Plastics introduced Noryl GTX Resins GE Plastics introduced new conductive Noryl GTX resins. These new, environmentally responsible materials are optimized for powder coating: they contain conductive fillers that eliminate the need to apply an electrostatic primer, which can emit harmful solvents and related compounds into the air. In powder-coating applications, Noryl GTX resins can replace metal substrates, eliminating costly and potentially hazardous chemical pre-treatments and offering increased design freedom. Also, the Noryl resin grades make it possible to powder-coat metal and plastic on the same production line for economies of scale and uniform aesthetics. Noryl GTX resins provide two critical properties required for successful powder coating: conductivity and high-heat performance. The resins are a blend of polyamide with modified polyphenylene ether reinforced with conductive filler packages to ensure electrostatic adhesion of the powder coating. In addition, they offer high performance to withstand the curing temperatures of current powder-coating processes. Conductive Noryl GTX resins can be powder-coated simultaneously with metal parts. Running multiple substrates on the same line enables economies of scale and avoids a color mismatch between powder-coated metal and injection-molded plastic. The Noryl GTX conductive resin family is a suitable for powder coating applications such as furniture, marine engine components, automotive, and non-auto transportation, as well as electrical and lighting devices. Noryl GTX resins include flame-retardant and non-flame-retardant grades, as well as glass- and mineral-filled materials. They can be processed in injection molding machines, as well as via extrusion. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
