Trinseo Plexiglas® HT121 Acrylic
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acrylic (PMMA); Acrylic, Heat Resistant, Molded

Material Notes: Plexiglas® HT121 is a thermoplastic acrylic resin formulated for injection molding applications. It is characterized by its high heat resistance. Plexiglas® HT121 has excellent weatherability and optical properties allowing it to excel in applications requiring outdoor stability, high quality surface appearance and/or precision optics. It has excellent resistance to many chemicals including solutions of inorganic acids, alkalis and aliphatic hydrocarbons such as VM&P naphtha and heptane. Additionally, it is virtually unaffected by a wide range of commercial products including many beverages, foodstuffs, detergent solutions and cleaners.

Appearance: Clear/Transparent; Colors Available; Opaque; Translucent

Characteristics: High Clarity; High Scratch Resistance; Good Color Stability, Good Dimensional Stability; Low Shrinkage; Good Thermal Stability, Good UV Stability; High Heat Resistance; Good Weather Resistance

Applications: Automotive Applications; Lighting Diffusers

Arkema has sold the American Plexiglas® product line to Trinseo, finalized in 2021.
