PLEXIGLAS® Solar - UV Transmission

PLEXIGLAS^® Solar is a new product range consisting of one molding compound grade and two solid sheet grades with customized transmission properties. The product range is rounded off by two variants of the ACRIFIX® adhesives system. All these products are characterized by their

• excellent light transmission (92 %)
• outstanding weather resistance
• high mechanical strength
• very good surface hardness and scratch resistance
    
   

PLEXIGLAS^® Solar Molding Compounds

PLEXIGLAS^® Solar IM20 - This special molding compound for injection molding and injection-compression molding is distinguished by its

• excellent flow
• low melt viscosity
• very good mold surface reproduction 
• high heat deflection temperature under load
     
   

PLEXIGLAS^® Solar Solid Sheets 

The solid sheets are equally suitable for manufacturing structured Fresnel lenses by hot embossing and as a substrate for manufacturing laminated lenses, which involves laminating structured films or injection-molded lenses onto the sheets. Their special properties are precise mold surface reproduction, high transmittance and excellent resistance to weathering and UV light. The two products offered

• PLEXIGLAS^® Solar 0Z023
• PLEXIGLAS^® Solar 0Z370
   

show different transmission in the wavelength range from 280 to 380 nm.
 

ACRIFIX^® Solar Adhesives

ACRIFIX^® Solar is a user friendly adhesives system that can be easily adjusted to various requirements. The UV-curing system ensures short process times, and the added benefit of flexibly adjustable viscosity. ACRIFIX^® Solar is provided in two different grades.

• ACRIFIX^® 1R 9016 Solar
  This one-component polymerization adhesive is highly viscous.
• ACRIFIX^® 1R 9019 Solar
  This one-component polymerization adhesive has low viscosity. 
   

Both adhesives can be used on their own or mixed with each other as required, enabling users to adjust specific viscosity levels and curing times.
