PLEXIGLAS® 8N Molding Compound
Product Profile:
PLEXIGLAS® 8N is an amorphous thermoplastic
molding compound (PMMA).
Typical properties of PLEXIGLAS® molding
compounds are:
• good flow
• high mechanical strength, surface hardness and
abrasion resistance
• high light transmission
• very good weather resistance
• free colorability due to crystal clarity
Special properties of PLEXIGLAS® 8N are:
• optimum mechanical properties
• maximum heat deflection temperature
• good flow / melt viscosity
• AMECA listing.
Application:
Used for injection molding optical and technical
items.
PLEXIGLAS® 8N can be processed on injection
molding machines with 3-zone general purpose
screws for engineering thermoplastics.
Physical Form / Packaging:
PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds are supplied as
pellets of uniform size, packaged in 25kg
polyethylene bags or in 500kg boxes with PE lining;
other packaging on request.
Examples:
optical waveguides, luminaire covers, automotive
lighting, instrument cluster covers, optical lenses,
displays, etc.
