Röhm Plexiglas® 7H PMMA Molding Compound
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acrylic (PMMA); Acrylic, General Purpose, Molded

Material Notes: Description: PLEXIGLAS® 7H and PLEXIGLAS® 8H are molding compounds based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The special properties of these standard PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds are:
  • high melt strength
  • high mechanical strength, surface hardness and abrasion resistance
  • high light transmission
  • excellent weather resistance
  • free colorability due to crystal clarity
The special properties of PLEXIGLAS® 7H are:
  • very good mechanical properties
  • high heat deflection temperature
  • high melt strength
  • AMECA listing.
Application: Used for extruding optical and technical profiles and sheets.
