New Liquid Silicone Rubber Grade from GE Advanced Materials Offers Improved Oil and Fuel Resistance, Excellent Processability

Seals made out of FSL 7586/40 e.g. for usage in automotive applications

With the commercial launch of FSL 7586/40 TP3854, GE Advanced Materials is introducing a new liquid silicone rubber (LSR) grade that combines improved oil and fuel resistance, self-lubricating performance, and excellent processing properties. This fast-curing silicone elastomer may be used for gasketing and sealing applications, such as those found in under-the-hood automotive applications that require occasional contact with automotive fuels or long-term contact with most automotive oils like connector gaskets and parts in air-intake systems.
GE’s innovative formulation of its new FSL 7586/40 TP3854 grade incorporates tailored fluorine structures that enable it to help deliver processing performance similar to non-fluorinated LSRs, but with greatly enhanced chemical resistance. BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — May 18, 2005 — With the commercial launch of FSL 7586/40 TP3854, GE Advanced Materials is introducing a new liquid silicone rubber (LSR) grade that combines improved oil and fuel resistance, self-lubricating performance, and excellent processing properties.

Les résines conductrices et laquables par procédé de peinture poudre Noryl GTX* de GE éliminent l'utilisation de peinture liquide et ouvrent de nouveaux horizons en termes de conception aux fabricants de meubles

GE PlasticsBERGEN OP ZOOM, PAYS-BAS — 18 mai 2005 — Les résines Noryl GTX* de GE, une gamme de résines conductrices largement utilisées et initialement développées pour les fabricants automobiles européens, sont en passe de devenir tout aussi prisées dans une nouvelle industrie – le mobilier de bureau. La résine conductrice Noryl GTX est plus particulièrement utilisée dans les meubles en matière plastique avec revêtement par peinture poudre, également appelé laquage, apportant notamment de nombreux avantages de conception, d’esthétique, de protection de l'environnement et de coût par rapport aux pièces plastiques teintées dans la masse, ou peintes avec un procédé de peinture liquide ou même de pièces en métal laquées. Entre autres avantages, elles offrent une plus grande liberté de conception qui favorise l’intégration de fonctions, le gain de poids par rapport aux pièces métal et élimine les solvants pour peinture pouvant avoir un impact négatif sur l'environnement.
