La nuova resina Noryl* di GE per il cablaggio automobilistico

La nuova resina Noryl* di GE è stata selezionata da Delphi Corporation come rivestimento per cavi degli impianti elettrici dei veicoli. La divisione Packard Electric di Delphi ha scelto la resina Noryl di GE per rispondere alle esigenze del mercato automobilistico globale in cerca di materiali dalle alte prestazioni e conformi ai requisiti di assenza di alogeni nelle componenti. La resina autoestinguente Noryl è oggi in grado di offrire al settore automobilistico una nuova soluzione di rivestimento dei cavi che garantisce proprietà superiori rispetto al PVC e al polietilene reticolato (XLPE). La resina Noryl è un eccellente candidato per i rivestimenti sottili e ultrasottili di fili e cavi in grado di ridurre notevolmente il peso e le dimensioni per una maggiore efficienza dei consumi e per rispondere ai requisiti di assenza di alogeni e cloro nelle componenti. I nuovi prodotti GE sono inoltre conformi agli standard internazionali di riciclabilità: la direttiva dell'Unione Europea in tema di sostanze pericolose (RoHS) e di veicoli a fine vita (ELV), gli standard dell'associazione delle case automobilistiche giapponesi (JAMA) e la legge giapponese sul riciclaggio dei veicoli emanata nel 2005.Panoramica

GE Helps Delphi Lose Weight in Automotive Wire Coating and Meet Halogen-Free Part Requirements with Flexible Noryl* Resin

GE PlasticsGARCHING, GERMANY — June 29, 2005 — New, high-performance Flexible Noryl* resin from GE Advanced Materials was selected by Delphi Corporation as a wire and cable coating for the company’s vehicle electrical systems. Delphi chose GE’s Flexible Noryl resin to meet a global automotive manufacturer’s need for high-performance cable that also addressed the requirements for halogen-free parts, with the cable to debut on a North American vehicle application. Flame-retardant Flexible Noryl resin may now offer the auto industry a new wire coating solution that provides superior properties compared to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and is an excellent candidate for thin- and ultra-thin-wall coatings that significantly reduce weight and size and meet halogen-, chlorine-, and lead-free part requirements.
