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.
Urmond, April 4, 2007 – Allseas Group S.A., a Swiss offshore pipelaying company, has collaborated with DSM Dyneema to improve the safety and speed of underwater pipe-laying using next-generation rope technology. The two companies have worked to replace traditional steel wire rope used to adjust pipelay stingers with a new product from BEXCOropes that is made with ultra-strong, lightweight polyethylene Dyneema® fiber. The new rope, which has been installed on Allseas’ pipe-laying vessel Audacia, enables faster, easier and safer operations. 
URMOND (NL), 12 March 2007 - To realize the requisite flame retardancy for ballistic protective panels on Korean marine vessels, a solution was developed based on the addition of an aluminum and glass-epoxy resin layer to panels made with Dyneema® HB25. A patent application for this solution has been filed by DSM. This unique combination of flame retardant properties, excellent ballistic protection and durability in demanding environments, at the lowest weight possible is now available for marine and also for vehicle applications worldwide.
