GE Positions New LNP* VERTON* Compounds as Alternatives to Short-Glass Products and Metals in Demanding Applications

Garage Door Handle GE Advanced Materials, Plastics has introduced two new grades of glass-reinforced LNP* VERTON* polybutylene-terephthalate (PBT) compound as alternatives to competitive short-fiber glass-filled PBT, polypropylene (PP), and nylon resins. LNP VERTON WF-7007 compound, with a 35% long glass-fiber loading, and LNP VERTON WF-700-10 compound, with a 50% loading, deliver enhanced toughness, strength, and stiffness at wide temperature extremes. These properties, combined with light weight and exceptional UV and corrosion resistance, also make the new compounds excellent candidates for an array of applications where toughness and durability are required. Target applications include electrical connectors and switches, appliance handles, and electronic motor housings. Potential metal-replacement applications include vehicle windshield wiper arms, side mirror housings, and garage door handles.
