OVERVIEW : Standard clear  ALTUGLAS™ PMMA resins exhibit key properties that make them the industry standard for applications needing a combination of high transparency and gloss along with UV and scratch resistance. 
TRINSEO offers a wide range of grades adapted to injection molding and extrusion processes. 

DESCRIPTION :
These clear thermoplastic materials offer :

• Excellent Optical properties - Very high Light Transmittance (92% LT / 0.5% haze)

• Outstanding resistance to mechanical damage and discoloration by ultraviolet rays : years outdoor exposure have no visible effect on ALTUGLAS™ PMMA.

• Very high surface hardness (Rockwell M-Scale) and therefore scratch resistance ensuring a lasting premium look.

• Higher heat resistance than impact-modified grades (Vicat B50 up to 108°C).

• Good stiffness.

• Ease of colouring (PMMA based MB required for non opaque colours to avoid optical defects).

ALTUGLAS™ PMMA VML is a Lubricated version of ALTUGLAS™ PMMA VM, suitable for injection of complex parts with easier demolding.
