Product Description
CA-1000 E-2 Clear is a specially designed impactmodified grade polymer designed for extrusion process. The typical applications are films, extruded sheets, capping material for other plastic substrates.

Designed based on the best balance of 2 phases of acrylics i.e. acrylic plastic phases & acrylic
elastomeric phase. Design in molecular morphology and refractive index match, Has up to 10 times impact strength of general-purpose acrylic polymers without sacrificing optical and weathering resistance properties. Excellent blend stock material for those applications requiring let-down impact strength.
