Product Description
Chemast HI (High Impact) is an acrylic sheet with the same physical and chemical properties of a general purpose acrylic sheet as high gloss, stability to outdoors, stability of color, etc. and with superior properties of impact being more resistant to the formation of fractures (GARDNER) as to the spread of it (IZOD). The GARDNER resistance of this material is 21 times greater than the sheet of general purpose, 2 times bigger to the impact of other impact acrylics in the market and less than policarbonate.
