ALTUGLAS® BS 130

ALTUGLAS® BS 130 by Trinseois a methylmethacrylate (MMA) copolymer compatible with PVC and all vinylic polymers. It acts as a matting agent.

• It 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.
• It provides excellent dispersion in polymers during melting and processing.
• It exhibits surface effects, anti-blocking and printability characteristics.
• 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.
• Shows little effect on processing conditions like torque, pressure, melting temperature.
• It is used in the manufacturing of extruded opaque sheets in furnitures and thermoformable door panels, packaging, extruded profiles in sidings and window boards.
• 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.
• It is also used in making blown films to give transparent and opaque effects.
