The new NORYL WM300G resin offers a drop-in replacement for the incumbent resin and delivers improved properties
In a decisive step towards safer and more sustainable water systems, SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, has launched a next-generation material engineered to deliver exceptional strength and impact resistance—without relying on traditional butadiene-based impact modifiers.
By eliminating substances that could potentially leach into drinking water, SABIC’s latest innovation -- NORYL WM300G resin -- not only anticipates future regulatory restrictions but also sets a new performance benchmark for water management components such as faucets, valves, and meters.
“Drawing on our deep expertise and years of experience in water management, SABIC anticipates customers’ future needs by addressing issues such as new possible regulatory restrictions on butadiene,” said Sergi Monros, vice president, SABIC Polymers, Specialties BU.
“The new NORYL WM300G resin offers a drop-in replacement for the incumbent resin and delivers improved properties, providing a seamless transition to the newest material technology.”
New NORYL WM300G resin is formulated without conventional impact modifiers -- the new product uses pioneering impact chemistry that improves processing stability to avoid the release of butadiene, while ensuring high impact performance and high strength to meet burst pressure test requirements in shower heads, faucets, valves, water meter internal components and other parts.
NORYL WM300G resin provides 20 to 30 percent higher burst strength (80-81 Mpa) compared to its legacy counterpart, NORYL 713S resin, at 64-65 Mpa, as per the company.
The new product also surpasses the incumbent NORYL resin in fatigue performance and flexural and tensile modulus. It features an attractive surface appearance, low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability. It is also food contact compliant and is formulated without bisphenol A (BPA), the company said.
