| New Xenoy resins from GE Plastics GE Plastics announced new grades of its tough Xenoy resin, which are suitable candidates to help meet the regulatory, performance, and cost challenges of molding fuel tanks for lawn mowers, snow blowers, personal recreation vehicles, generators, and other small engines. Xenoy resins avoid the high costs of traditional multilayer extrusion blow-molding processes, as well as the cost and time required for secondary fluorination of conventional monolayer molded tanks. The new materials also provide an outstanding balance of mechanical performance and weatherability, and are available in both natural and pre-colored black. Key applications for the new Xenoy resins include walk-behind consumer mowers. Other applications include fuel tanks for jet skis, generators, chainsaws, rototillers, ice augers, go carts, power washers, golf carts, and other devices requiring small off-road engines. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
