Plexiglas® zk20 Molding Compound

Description: PLEXIGLAS® zk20is impact modified molding compounds based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The grades of the zk series are the classical impact-modified PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds. They can, however, also be used for profile extrusion or coextrusion. Uses of PLEXIGLAS® zk molding compound: lighting fixtures, writing and drawing utensils, domestic appliances and sanitary ware.Information provided by degussa.
