GE’s Super High Flow Valox* Resins Fill Automotive Industry’s Needs for Lighter Parts, Energy Savings, and Increased Part Consolidation

Connectors Made with GE’s Super High Flow Valox* Resin>BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — December 7, 2006 — GE Plastics today announced the launch of Valox* Super High Flow resins, a family of glass- and mineral-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) materials.

The GE materials address several key challenges. As gas prices increase, the automotive industry is seeking new technologies to produce thinner, lighter components for greater fuel efficiency. At the same time, automakers are increasingly combining multiple functions in the same component to save space so they can pack in extra features.
