Injection molding applications

PMMA grades for general and high-flow injection molding.

V2 and V6 share the same optical values at 3 mm. V2 provides the highest Vicat and HDT values in the current V Series. V6 provides substantially higher flow for thinner walls and longer flow paths.

Applications

Common applications for V2 and V6.

Key selection factors include part thickness, gate design, flow length, mold design and operating temperature.

01

Luminaire and display parts

Transparent covers, display components and light-guide parts evaluated against target geometry.

02

Thin-wall and long-flow parts

Parts where cavity filling and longer or more demanding flow paths guide the grade choice.

03

Cosmetic packaging

Clear molded packaging components reviewed for flow, appearance and end-use requirements.

V2 or V6?

Compare heat resistance and melt flow.

V2 offers higher heat resistance, while V6 provides higher melt flow for thinner walls and longer flow paths.
