Renault Utilizes the Weight and Design Benefits of SABIC Innovative Plastics’ Noryl GTX* Resin for Twingo and Kangoo
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – December 2, 2008 – The weight reduction and design freedom benefits from using high-performance Noryl GTX* resin in automotive fenders and other body panels have been proven in more than 12 million vehicles worldwide.
