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.

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.
