Mitsubishi Diakon® Resins | High-Performance PMMA Resin
What Is Diakon® PMMA?
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is renowned for its transparency and is popularly known as acrylic, clear acrylic, or acrylic glass.Diakon® PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), developed by Mitsubishi Chemical Group, is a premium-grade acrylic resin designed for high-performance injection molding, extrusion, and coextrusion applications.
Known for its optical clarity, weatherability, and surface hardness, Diakon® PMMA is widely used as a glass replacement in industries ranging from automotive and construction to lighting and cosmetic packaging.
Why Choose Diakon® PMMA?
| Transmittance | Standard grades offer general-purpose clarity and gloss properties; they have a refractive index of 1.49, which allows 92% of light to transmit compared to glass or other polymer resins |
| Surface Hardness | Impact-modified grades for enhanced durability and toughness that maintain lightweight and flow properties |
| UV Stability | Strong resistance to UV light and weathering for prolonged exposure to sunlight |
| Chemical Resistance | Specialty and custom grades offer improved chemical resistance for most aqueous solutions |
