PLEXIGLAS® and PLEXIMID® Molding Compounds with Higher Heat Deflection Temperature Under Load

PLEXIGLAS^® hw55

PLEXIGLAS^® hw55 is a copolymer based on methyl methacrylate (MMA) with comonomer constituents. These provide a high heat deflection temperature under load for a PMMA molding compound, combined with ease of processing..

• PLEXIGLAS^® hw55 is particularly suited for injection-molded technical parts for applications to high thermal stress.

PLEXIGLAS^® FT15

PLEXIGLAS^® FT15 is a new molding compound based on PMMA with a higher heat deflection temperature (Vicat softening temperature: 115 °C) combined with improved flow.

• PLEXIGLAS^® FT15 is particularly suitable for injection-molding and extrusion applications with stringent requirements in terms of heat deflection temperature and flow. The special property profile offers benefits particularly when it comes to designing moldings with challenging wall thickness / flow path ratios.

PLEXIMID^® TT70

PLEXIMID® TT70, a polymethyl methacrylimide (PMMI) with a high heat deflection temperature has a Vicat softening temperature of 170 °C. Besides its high transmission and clarity and excellent strength and rigidity, this new specialty molding compound offers extremely stable optical values after long-term exposure to heat.

• PLEXIMID^® TT70 is especially suitable for applications in headlamps; e.g. lens systems, light guiding elements for parking lights or dipped headlights, light guides for turn signal lights and for headlamp and turn signal light covers.
