Degussa Plexiglas® zk5BR Molding Compound
Subcategory: Acrylic; Thermoplastic
Material Notes: Description: PLEXIGLAS® zk4BR, PLEXIGLAS® zk5BR and PLEXIGLAS® zk6BR are impact-modified molding compounds based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The grades of the zkBR series are the most widely used impact-modified PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds. They are characterized in particular by the following properties:- high break resistance and impact strength
- improved crazing resistance
- excellent weatherability
- brilliant optics
- high surface hardness and abrasion resistance
- AMECA listing
PLEXIGLAS® zk molding compounds of the BR series are suitable for extrusion and coextrusion of panels and profiles as well as for injection molding. Uses of PLEXIGLAS® zkBR molding compounds: extruded and injection-molded lighting fixture covers, extruded hollow bodies, writing utensils such as templates and fountain pens, housings, coextruded profiles for window frames, gutters, downspouts, etc., and housewares such as cutlery handles, bowls, cookie jars.
