Case Study
PMMA on PVC substrate
Case study PMMA on PVC substrate How Lucite International tailored an ultra-matt PMMA with higher impact resistance for architectural PVC sheets. Polymer: Lucite® Elvakon® coextrusion PMMA Application: Coextruded PMMA / PVC Architectural rainwater goods (outdoor) Processing: Coextrusion Key Benefits: – Achieve the ultra-matt and visual aspect required – Improve the impact resistance compared to the current product – Maintain the same rheology as defined by the customer – Maintain the UV resistance and cost-effectiveness The challenge – provide a coextrusion PMMA grade with the right gloss level (ultra-matt) Lucite International has been approached to develop a coextrusion PMMA grade with an ultra- matt surface for use in architectural rainwater goods (coextruded products), using PVC as t
