TECACRYL®
TECACRYL® offers excellent weather resistance, high light transmission, high mechanical strength, high surface hardness and mar resistance, good melt flow rate, and versitile colorability due to crystal clarity. In addition, a special property of TECACRYL® polymer includes superior heat resistance and a high level of transparency.
- Extraordinary Transparency
- Exceptional Durability
- Excellent Mechanical Strength
Because it is tough, more transparent than glass and twice as light, TECACRYL® is ideal for a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications.
