ALTUGLAS™ V825T

Overview OVERVIEW : Standard clear ALTUGLAS™ PMMA resins exhibit key properties that make them the industry
standard for applications needing a combination of high transparency and gloss along with UV and scratch
resistance.
TRINSEO offers a wide range of grades adapted to injection molding and extrusion processes.

DESCRIPTION :
These clear thermoplastic materials offer :
• Excellent Optical properties - Very high Light Transmittance (92% LT / 0.5% haze)
• Outstanding resistance to mechanical damage and discoloration by ultraviolet rays : years outdoor exposure
have no visible effect on ALTUGLAS™ PMMA.
• Very high surface hardness (Rockwell M-Scale) and therefore scratch resistance ensuring a lasting premium
look.
• Higher heat resistance than impact-modified grades (Vicat B50 up to 108°C).
• Good stiffness.
• Ease of colouring (PMMA based MB required for non opaque colours to avoid optical defects).

ALTUGLAS™ PMMA V825T is both an injection and extrusion resin with high heat resistance.
