PARIS, 30 March, 2004 — Reinforcing its commitment to supply a steady stream of composite technology solutions to the global marine industry, Owens Corning today introduced OC® Continuous Filament Mat (CFM) 8635, a new glass-fiber, non-woven product for use in infusion molding. Manufactured from Owens Corning’s Advantex® glass, it is the only CFM product specifically tailored to this process, providing customers with up to 25 percent faster infusion versus other CFM products, and an all-glass reinforcement system for molders concerned about using organic materials in below waterline applications.

BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands — Feb. 2, 2004 — GE Advanced Materials today introduced a new family of flexible NORYL® modified-polyphenylene ether (MPPE) resin as an alternative to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), flame-retarded polyethylene (FR-PE), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in wire-coating applications for the direct-current (DC) cord and plug segments of the consumer electronics industry. The new products –
NORYL WCD910 and NORYL WCP860 resins – have passed bending-strength tests by charger manufacturers, address eco-label flame-retardant application concerns, and, unlike PVC, contain no halogens, such as chlorine, which can break down into dioxins and toxic, highly acidic gasses when burned. The new GE resins also offer a lower specific gravity than FR-PE and TPU – weight reductions of 20 to 30 percent are achievable – as well as faster extrusion rates for potentially higher productivity and lower systems costs.
