GE Plastics Adds New Conductive Noryl GTX* Resins to the Company’s Expanding ecomagination* Product Portfolio
BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — May 8, 2007 — GE Plastics’ conductive Noryl GTX* resins have officially joined GE’s growing ecomagination* product portfolio. 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.
