Product Description
Product Profile:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist FT15 is a special acrylic-based polymer.

With regard to its
  • good weather resistance and
  • high light transmission,

PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist FT15 shows comparable properties to those of PLEXIGLAS® standard molding compounds. In addition, PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist FT15 offers the special benefit of a
  • high heat deflection temperature combined with good flow.

Application:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist FT15 is particularly suitable for injection moldings.

Examples:
luminaire covers, automotive lights and technical moldings exposed to high temperatures.

Processing:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist FT15 can be processed on injection-molding machines with for PMMA suitable 3-zone-screw. Good pre-desiccation must be pointed out.

Physical Form / Packaging:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist FT15 is supplied as pellets of uniform size, packaged in 25kg, two-ply polyethylene bags; other packaging on request.
