Plexiglas zk30 Evonik Rohm Acrylic, Polymethyl Methacrylate

Product Description

Product Profile:
PLEXIGLAS® Resist zk30 is an amorphous, impact-modified thermoplastic molding compound (PMMA-I).

Typical properties of impact-modified PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds are:

excellent transmission and clarity

brilliant appearance

the pleasant feel and sound of the moldings.

PLEXIGLAS® Resist zk30 is characterized by the following special properties:

good break resistance and impact strength

improved resistance to stress cracking

certified dishwasher resistance

AMECA listing.

Application:
Used for injection molding. Profile extrusion or coextrusion are also possible.

Examples:
lighting fixtures, writing and drawing utensils, domestic appliances and sanitaryware

Processing:
PLEXIGLAS® Resist zk30 can be processed on machines with 3-zone general purpose screws for engineering thermoplastics.

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