Röhm Plexiglas® GS 249 Cast Acrylic  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acrylic (PMMA); Acrylic, Cast

Material Notes: Description: PLEXIGLAS® GS 249 is another cast acrylic specially developed to meet even higher demands by the aviation industry, but is additionally crosslinked. As compared with uncrosslinked acrylic, it offers higher resistance to media that cause stress cracking and increased heat distortion resistance. PLEXIGLAS® GS 249 is also excellently suited for stretching, which makes it possible to improve its properties even further over the unstretched state. Typical applications are cabin windows in civilian aircraft, glazing for pressurized aircraft cabins, cockpit glazing, canopies and windshields.
