ACRYLITE® molding compoundsACRYLITE® molding compounds are thermoplastics based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), standardized to ASTM D788, DIN 7745/ISO 8257. ACRYLITE® molding compounds are characterized by a number of chemical, physical and technical properties that are indispensable for manufacturing high-quality parts by injection molding, injection blow molding and extrusion.

Absolutely clearACRYLITE® molding compound grades are so highly transparent that molded parts and semifi nished products manufactured from them provide the maximum possible light transmission of 92%. It shows only the physically unavoidable refl ection loss of 4% at each surface where light enters and exits. This unique clarity makes it possible to obtain particularly pure colors with an outstanding degree of precision.

Convincing longevityAs confi rmed by tests in all of the world’s climates, ACRYLITE® molding compounds show unsurpassed resistance to weathering and aging. They do not turn yellow or wear away under chemical attack, show no deterioration of their properties and are not subject to decay. Therefore, ACRYLITE® makes a major contribution to resource conservation. That was also one of the outstanding points in its favor in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) performed in accordance with DIN ISO 14040ff .

RecyclableDue to their chemical composition, ACRYLITE® molding compounds are uniquely suitable for chemical recycling and material recovery.

Tough surfaceIn addition to their pleasant feel and sound, molded parts and semifi nished products made from ACRYLITE® (PMMA) present the greatest surface hardness and thus the best scratch resistance of all thermoplastics. This enables them to preserve their high gloss even aft er prolonged use.
