ALTUGLAS™ VM

Generic Family: Acrylic, Polymethyl MethacrylateSupplied by: Trinseo
OVERVIEW : Standard clear  ALTUGLAS™ PMMA resins exhibit key properties that make them the industry standard for applications needing a combination of high transparency and gloss along with UV and scratch resistance. 
TRINSEO offers a wide range of grades adapted to injection molding and extrusion processes.

DESCRIPTION :
These clear thermoplastic materials offer :
  • Excellent Optical properties - Very high Light Transmittance (92% LT / 0.5% haze)
  • Outstanding resistance to mechanical damage and discoloration by ultraviolet rays : years outdoor exposure have no visible effect on ALTUGLAS™ PMMA.
  • Very high surface hardness (Rockwell M-Scale) and therefore scratch resistance ensuring a lasting premium look.
  • Higher heat resistance than impact-modified grades (Vicat B50 up to 108°C).
  • Good stiffness.
  • Ease of colouring (PMMA based MB required for non opaque colours to avoid optical defects). 

ALTUGLAS™ PMMA VM is a very high flow molding resin suitable for injection of complex parts. Injection molding resin offering very high flow but slightly lower heat resistance.
