ACRYLITE® 8N polymer

ACRYLITE® 8N polymer by Roehm is an amorphous thermoplastic molding and extrusion compound based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It exhibits excellent weather resistance, high light transmission, mechanical strength, surface hardness and mar resistance.

It shows good melt flow rate and versatile colorability due to crystal clarity.
It possesses highest heat resistance, high melt strength, UV light absorption and low levels of lubricant.
ACRYLITE® 8N polymer is recommended for injection molding commercial and residential lighting lenses, automotive lenses and parts, optical devices & extruded profiles.
