ALTUGLAS® BS 100

ALTUGLAS® BS 100 by Trinseo is a methylmethacrylate (MMA) copolymer. Acts as a matting agent. It exhibits surface effects, anti-blocking and printability characteristics. Shows perfect compatibility with PVC and all vinylic polymers. Provides excellent dispersion in polymers during melting and processing.

• Possesses homogeneous effects, excellent reproducibility of recipes and minimal effect on mechanical properties such as impact strength, modulus, strain and even intrinsic weatherability (UV resistance) of beads.
• Shows little effect on processing conditions like torque, pressure, melting temperature etc.
• It has high stability temperature (typical of PMMA >300°C) and therefore it is not degraded at all by usual processing conditions (shear and temperature) of PVC.
• It can be used in a broad range of formulations of flexible and rigid PVC with any type of additive including plasticizers, processing aids, fillers, pigments and stabilizers.
• Provides frost appearance in bottles.
• Used in the manufacturing of extruded opaque sheets in furniture and thermoformable door panels, packaging, extruded profiles in sidings and window boards.
• ALTUGLAS® BS 100 is also used in making blown films to give transparent and opaque effects.
