| Plexiglas® V045 is a thermoplastic acrylic resin formulated for injection molding and extrusion applications. It is characterized by its chemical and heat resistance as well a high melt flow. Plexiglas® V045 has excellent weatherability and optical properties allowing it to excel in applications requiring outdoor stability, high quality surface appearance and/or precision optics. Plexiglas® V045 is easy to process due to its exceptional thermal stability, extrusion melt strength, and excellent tool surface reproduction and release properties. It has excellent resistance to many chemicals including solutions of inorganic acids, alkalis and aliphatic hydrocarbons such as VM&P naphtha and heptane. Additionally, it is virtually unaffected by a wide range of commercial products including many beverages, foodstuffs, detergent solutions and cleaners. Appearance: Clear/Transparent; Colors Available; Translucent Characteristics: High Clarity; High Scratch Resistance; Good Color Stability, Good Dimensional Stability; Low Shrinkage; Good Thermal Stability, Good UV Stability; Medium Heat Resistance; Good Weather Resistance Applications: Lighting Diffusers Arkema has sold the American Plexiglas® product line to Trinseo, finalized in 2021. |
