Product Profile: PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop 8N black is an amorphous thermoplastic molding compound (PMMA).
Typical properties of PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds are:
good flow
high mechanical strength, surface hardness and abrasion resistance
very good weather resistance
Special properties of PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop 8N black are:
heat-reflection (IR)
high total solar reflection (TSR), reflects 21% of the solar energy
reduces the heat build-up of plastic parts, thus increases the dimension stability.
Application: PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop 8N black is suitable for injection molding of technical components, as well as for extrusion/coextrusion. Owing to its superior brilliance, high-gloss (Class A) black surfaces can be obtained.
Examples: black automotive add-on parts like spoiler, pillar and roof trims, black automotive parts like roof modules.
