High-Transparency Plast PMMA for Automotive Lighting & Optical Components

As a specialized manufacturer of automotive lighting components, we work extensively with PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), commonly referred to as acrylic or "plast" in some industries. Our PMMA materials are specifically formulated for automotive applications, offering exceptional optical clarity (92%+ light transmission) and weather resistance. The material demonstrates excellent processing characteristics in injection molding, allowing for the production of complex optical components with tight tolerances. We utilize various PMMA grades including high-flow versions for thin-walled parts and impact-modified formulations for safety-critical applications. Our technical team can advise on optimal processing parameters for PMMA, including melt temperatures (220-250°C), mold temperatures (60-80°C), and drying requirements (2-4 hours at 80°C). The material exhibits low moisture absorption (0.3% max) but requires proper drying to prevent cosmetic defects. We maintain strict control over regrind ratios to ensure consistent material properties. Our PMMA products meet relevant automotive standards for flammability (UL94 HB), fogging (DIN 75201), and chemical resistance. We can provide material certification and full technical datasheets for all our PMMA compounds.
