High Impact Modified PMMA Resin for Automotive Lighting, Displays & Optical Components -Baekeland (Xiamen) New Materials Co., Ltd.
Xiamen Baekeland Modified PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) Resin offers enhanced impact resistance, excellent optical clarity, and outstanding weatherability. Specially engineered for demanding applications, this PMMA grade is ideal for automotive lighting systems, LED light guide panels, optical lenses, and high-end display covers.
PMMA is a high-performance thermoplastic engineered for specific industry needs. Our modified PMMA compounds are enhanced with reinforcements such as glass fiber, impact modifiers, flame retardants, or UV stabilizers to meet demanding application requirements.
Key Features
High Impact Resistance – Modified with rubber or core-shell elastomers for 5–10x the impact strength of standard PMMA.
Excellent Optical Transparency – Light transmittance over 92%, suitable for optical-grade components.
Superior Weatherability – Excellent UV and aging resistance for long-term outdoor use.
Thermal Stability – Good dimensional stability and heat resistance.
Good Processability – Suitable for injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming.
