Acrylic (PMMA) Injection Moulding
Injection-moulded acrylic parts offer high heat resistance, durability, and optical properties
What is Acrylic?
Our acrylic resins, Plexiglas 6N and Plexiglas 8N, are amorphous thermoplastic moulding compounds (PMMA). Particularly suitable for injection moulding optical and technical items.
Key benefits of moulded acrylic:
- High clarity
- Dimensional stability
- UV Resistance
- Weather resistance
- High heat resistance
