PLEXIGLAS® Resist AG 100 is an amorphous thermoplastic molding compound, based on impact-modified polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Details
- high weather resistance
- excellent transmission and clarity
- brilliant appearance
- low weight – half the weight of glass
- 100% recyclable – best life cycle assessment as compared with glass and PC
- pleasant feel and sound of molded parts
- highest breaking strength and impact strength (30 times higher breaking strength than glass)
- improved resistance to stress cracking
- balanced property profile
- clear reduction of reversible haze at very high and low temperatures
- increased heat deflection temperature under load
- AMECA listing, CAMPUS and moldflow data available
- high optical quality
automotive glazing (rear side windows, roof and rear windows)
the integration of lighting
panel trim
rear side
The material has undergone and passed all tests in line with ECE R43.
PLEXIGLAS® Resist AG 100 can be processed by injection molding of parts or by sheet extrusion and coextrusion. PLEXIGLAS® Resist AG 100 can be injection-molded on processing machines with a standard three-section screw for engineering thermoplastics in one-component or two component processes.
Predrying is not necessary in most cases. During heating, the material turns slightly white, but this disappears completely upon cooling.
In principle, the same paints and lacquers can be used as for extruded PLEXIGLAS®. However, we recommend that you carry out preliminary tests in this case.
Surface coating, for example with polysiloxane systems, can be carried out by means of conventional processes.
PLEXIGLAS® Resist molding compounds are supplied as pellets of uniform size in 25kg polyethylene bags or 500kg boxes with PE lining. Other types of packaging are available on request.
PLEXIGLAS® Resist AG 100 for vehicle glazing is available in Clear-transparent (9V913). Beyond this, the transparent colors Green (6V176) and Gray (7V275) are available.
From production to recycling, the environmental impact of PLEXIGLAS® was tested in the life cycle assessment in accordance with ISO 14040ff and received a positive rating.
In a study prepared by PE International AG, the environmental impacts during manufacture, application and disposal of automotive glazing made from PLEXIGLAS® were positively rated in comparison with reference systems (single-layer safety glass, laminated safety glass, PC).
