Product Description
Product Profile:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop 8N black is an amorphous
thermoplastic molding compound (PMMA).

Typical properties of PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds are:
  • good flow
  • high mechanical strength, surface hardness and abrasion resistance
  • very good weather resistance

Special properties of PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop 8N black are:
  • heat-reflection (IR)
  • high total solar reflection (TSR), reflects 21% of the solar energy
  • reduces the heat build-up of plastic parts, thus increases the dimension stability.

Application:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop 8N black is suitable for injection molding of technical components, as well as for extrusion/coextrusion. Owing to its superior brilliance, high-gloss (Class A) black surfaces can be obtained.

Examples:
black automotive add-on parts like spoiler, pillar and roof trims, black automotive parts like roof modules.

Processing:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop 8N black can be processed on injection molding machines or extruders with for PMMA suitable 3-zone general purpose screws for engineering thermoplastics.

Physical Form / Packaging:
PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds are supplied as pellets of uniform size, packaged in 25kg polyethylene bags or in 500kg boxes with PE lining; other packaging on request.
