ACRYLITE® 8N polymer
ACRYLITE® 8N polymer
ACRYLITE® 8N is an amorphous thermoplastic molding and extrusion compound based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It is known for its excellent weather resistance, high light transmission, mechanical strength, surface hardness, and versatile colorability. Special properties include high heat resistance, high melt strength, UV light absorption options, and low lubricant levels.
This polymer is used in injection molding for commercial and residential lighting lenses, automotive lenses and parts, optical devices, and extruded profiles. Examples include automotive rear light lenses, reflex lenses, fog light lenses, telematic sensors, displays, light covers, and HID lamp lenses.
ACRYLITE® 8N can be processed using injection molding machines and extrusion lines with 3-zone general-purpose screws.
The product is available in 1500 lb. gaylord boxes, with other packaging options available upon request.
