Product Description
Plexiglas® DR® M2 is an impact modified thermoplastic acrylic resin formulated for injection molding and extrusion applications. It has a matte appearance, is heat resistance and provides 10 times the impact resistance of standard acrylics. It offers an excellent balance between melt flow and increased resistance to breakage, while providing weatherability superior to that provided by other high-impact plastics.
