Product Description
Product Profile:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ66 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 POQ66 is distinguished by its
  • guaranteed purity and clarity,
  • high luminous efficiency in medium to long light paths,
  • absolute colorlessness even in thick layers.

Application:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ66 is suitable for manufacturing extruded sheets to meet stringent optical requirements.

Examples:
Small to medium-sized injection-molded or injection compression-molded lightguide panels for display applications, lightguides.

Processing:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ66 can be processed on extruders with conventional three-section screws for engineering themoplastics.

For manufacturing extruded lightguide panels, it is advisable to maintain processing temperatures at the lower end of the scale.

Physical Form / Packaging:
PLEXIGLAS® Optical POQ66 is supplied as pellets of uniform size in big-bags; other packaging on request.
