A LIGHTWEIGHT BODY IN WHITE HYBRID REINFORCEMENT SOLUTION
NORYL GTX™ resin is an alloy of modified polyphenylene ether (PPE) and polyamide (PA).
This unique pairing combines the long-term dimensional stability, low water absorption, low
specific gravity and heat resistance of PPE with the chemical resistance and flow of PA polymer.
The result is a highly chemically resistant material with the stiffness, strength, and impact
resistance required for metal/plastic hybrid solutions in Body in White applications.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF NORYL GTX™ RESIN
IN PLASTIC/METAL HYBRID SOLUTIONS
• Comparable performance to high-strength steel designs
• Up to 30-40% mass reduction from each reinforcement
• Ease of assembly
• Up to 5-10 kgs total weight saving potential
from 10-12 reinforcements in BIW
• Critical property retention following e-coat
• Potential system cost savings vs. multiple steel components
• Can withstand a broad range of temperature extremes from 220C during
assembly to -40C during in-use applications
• Outstanding hydrolysis resistance and dimensional stability vs PBT,
protecting components from breakdown due to moisture exposure
• Enhanced property retention and dimensional stability vs PA6 + PA6,6
