Product Description
Product Profile:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ62 is an amorphous thermoplastic molding compound based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).

In addition to the familiar properties of PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds, such as
  • excellent light transmission and brilliance,
  • very good weather resistance,
  • high mechanical strength, surface hardness and mar resistance,

PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ62 is distinguished by its
  • guaranteed purity and clarity,
  • outstanding flow properties due to its low melt viscosity and its
  • extremely accurate mold surface reproduction.

Application:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ62 is particularly suitable for injection-compression molding and for injection-molding thin-walled parts with long flow paths. Further fields of application are two-component injection molding and special extrusion.

Examples:
Manufacture of moldings with microstructured surfaces and optical structures.

Processing:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ62 can be processed on injection molding machines and extruders with conventional three-section screws for engineering thermoplastics.

Physical Form / Packaging:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ62 is supplied as uniform pellets in 500kg boxes with PE lining, other types of packaging on request
