Trinseo Plexiglas® DR® Acrylic
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acrylic (PMMA); Acrylic, Impact Modified, Molded
Material Notes:	Plexiglas® DR® is an impact modified thermoplastic acrylic resin formulated for injection molding and extrusion applications. It is a heat resistant resin that provides 10 times the impact resistance of standard acrylics. It is an all-acrylic resin that combines the toughness associated with other impact plastics and the outstanding transparency and UV resistance of conventional acrylic materials. Moldflow simulation data is available. Appearance: Clear/Transparent; Colors Available; Opaque; Translucent Characteristics: High Clarity; Scratch Resistant; Good Color Stability; Good Dimensional Stability; Low Shrinkage; Good Thermal Stability; Good UV Resistance; Good Weather Resistance; Good Toughness; High Impact Resistance Applications: Automotive Applications; Lighting Diffusers; Capstock; Sanitary Products; Consumer Applications; Displays Arkema has sold the American Plexiglas® product line to Trinseo, finalized in 2021.
