PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist hw55

Generic Family: Acrylic, Polymethyl Methacrylate • Supplied by: Röhm GmbH
PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist hw55 clear is a copolymer based on methyl methacrylate (MMA) with comonomer constituents.

Besides showing the familiar properties of standard PLEXIGLAS® molding compound, such as
  • high light transmission,
  • good flowability,
  • high mechanical strength, surface hardness and abrasion resistance, as well as
  • excellent weatherability,

PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist hw55 clear offers the additional benefits of
  • increased heat deflection temperature under load and
  • improved resistance to stress cacking
  • optimised inherent color,
  • AMECA listing.

Application:
PLEXIGLAS® Heatresist hw55 clear is particularly suitable for injection molding of technical items.
