Unitika U-8000
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyarylate
Material Notes:	U series resins are polymer alloys that are improved in resistance to oils and chemicals, the shortcoming of amorphous resins. They are transparent and have a greater moisture blocking property than other resins having similar structures. They are also suitable for blow molding. Characteristics: Transparent, resistant to chemicals, especially to oils, alcohols and others Weather Resistance Blended into PET resins for improvement in heat resistance.
