ACRYLITE® 8N plus

Product catalog summary
Product Profile: ACRYLITE® 8N plus is an amorphous thermoplastic molding compound (PMMA) known for its improved mechanical properties. It features good flow, high mechanical strength, surface hardness, abrasion resistance, high light transmission, and excellent weather resistance. It is also colorable due to its crystal clarity. Special properties include enhanced shock/vibration resistance, demolding behavior, chemical resistance, and maximum heat deflection temperature.
Applications: This compound is used in injection molding for technical items such as luminaire covers, automotive applications, instrument cluster covers, and displays.
Processing: ACRYLITE® 8N plus can be processed using injection molding machines equipped with 3-zone general-purpose screws for engineering thermoplastics.
Physical Form/Packaging: The compound is available as uniform-sized pellets, packaged in 25 kg polyethylene bags or 500 kg boxes with PE lining. Other packaging options are available upon request.
Properties:
  • Mechanical Properties: Tensile Modulus: 3050 MPa, Stress @ Break: 69 MPa, Strain @ Break: 19%, Charpy Impact Strength: 22 kJ/m².
  • Thermal Properties: Vicat Softening Temperature: 105°C, Glass Transition Temperature: 114°C, Temp. of Deflection under Load (0.45 MPa): 102°C, (1.8 MPa): 97°C, Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion: 8 E-5/°K.
  • Rheological Properties: Melt Volume Rate (MVR): 2.6 cm³/10min.
  • Optical Properties: Luminous transmittance: 92%, Haze: <1%, Refractive Index: 1.48.
  • Other Properties: Density: 1.19 g/cm³.
Recommended Processing Conditions: Predrying Temperature: max. 80°C, Predrying Time: 2-3 hours, Melt Temperature: 220-260°C, Mold Temperature: 60-90°C.
Certifications: Certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and IATF 16949:2016.
