PLEXIGLAS Heatresist FT15 is a special acrylic-based polymer designed for injection molding applications requiring high heat resistance combined with good flow. With a Vicat softening temperature of 115°C (B/50) and heat deflection temperature of 107°C at 0.45 MPa, this grade delivers exceptional thermal stability for demanding applications. It offers 91% light transmission and good weather resistance, comparable to standard PLEXIGLAS molding compounds, while providing superior high-temperature performance.
PLEXIGLAS Heatresist FT15 features high tensile modulus of 3500 MPa, stress at break of 50 MPa, and Charpy impact strength of 18 kJ/m² at 23°C. Its good flow characteristics (MVR 4.5 cm³/10min at 230°C/3.8kg) enable efficient injection molding of complex geometries. With glass transition temperature of 121°C and glow wire ignition temperature of 675°C, it offers reliable performance in high-temperature environments. Typical applications include luminaire covers, automotive lights, and technical moldings exposed to elevated temperatures. Processable on injection molding machines with PMMA-suitable 3-zone screws at melt temperature 220-250°C and mold temperature 70-95°C.
