More light from new PMMA

A

ltuglas International, a subsidiary of Arkema, has recently developed a new grade of PMMA said to offer improved light transmission and surface properties.

Altuglas HFI-10 Super Matt meets the present market demands for extremely low gloss and distinctive surface texture while keeping the key properties of PMMA, like weathering and scratch resistance. It also boasts lowest gloss of any PMMA available on the market, good impact resistance and a unique matt finish when extruded, which is retained even after thermoforming, says the company. The material also has excellent scratch resistance, easy processing (rheology adapted to injection, extrusion and coextrusion) and a pleasant soft touch.

Two recent success stories: the German company MITRAS Materials GmbH, specialised in co-extrusion of styrenic-acrylic sheets for highly demanding applications, developed two new product ranges using Altuglas HFI-10 Super Matt in the building industry for roof panelling and the automotive market for daytime running light.
