Throughout 1995 and 1996, I was the Business Leader For GE Plastics' Crystalline Polymer business. We sell our Valox® PBT and Xenoy® Polyester/PC alloys into all kinds of industries, from automotive to computers to business equipment to building and construction. Some of the bytes making up this page probably travelled through a Valox® fiber optic buffer tube on the way to your browser. If you're interested in GE Company or GE Plastics, please check out the homepages. We were one of the first non-computer companies to jump on the internet bandwagon, and our pages are pretty full featured. The GE Plastics pages have all kinds of technical data, design and processing guides, as well as a link to download our GESelect material selection software for Mac or Windows.

Most of our Valox® and Xenoy® product lines are based off of polyester technology (PBT = polybutylene terepthalate). This is another similar polyester, PET (polyethylene terepthalate) which is the same material used in many film, fiber, and bottle applications.

• The Ford Worldwide Conection is well designed and informative. Ford uses Xenoy for bumpers and fascias.

• At the Chrysler Technology Center, you can obtain a lot of "highly classified information".
• We sell a lot of product to GM, but Cadillac is the only division I could find with an official homepage.

• Several components on this Honda Accord, including the headlight extender, are molded from Valox.

• Xenoy finds use in the door handles on this Toyota Camry. Toyota's site is very broad and "Well-rounded", worth a visit.

• Many of SCSI and edge connectors from the worlds largest connector manufacturer, Amp, rely on GE Valox to make the grade.

• Many of the connecors you see in this on-line Molex catalog are molded of Valox.

• Yazaki is one of the worlds largest automotive wire harness manufacturers (along with many other products) and they use Valox in many of their components. (I can't find a home page yet.)

• The John Deere & Co. homepage is still under construction, but the molded-in color weatherable hoods on their tractors have been in service for years.

• The Nippondenso page explains how ND is putting a smile on everyone's face with enhanced safety, comfort and convenience. Technology from Nippondenso is helping to realize a better tomorrow and many of the compressor and underhood parts are molded of Valox.

• Although they've recently split, AT&T will remain a communications leader. Their yet un-named "Products" division uses weatherable flame retardant Valox for its outdoor Network Interface Devices and hydrostable Valox for the fiber optic buffer tubes.

• Siecor is the world's leading fiber optic cable and systems manufacturer, and they rely on Valox to buffer their fibers and enclose their Network Interface Devices.

• 3M uses Valox in a variety of their electrical products.

• Some Motorola network interface enclosures are being molded from weatherable Valox.

• The ink jet pen bodies in these high end Hewlett Packard injet printers are molded from Valox.
