Plexiglas® Heatresist hw55

About
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. Examples: lighted keys, luminaire covers, fiber optics.&&
