About Bimodal
ASAHI KASEI CHEMICALS have developed brand-new PMMA which surpassed conventional PMMA by original technology.
                                  -   DELPET 80NE has superior high flow ability in injection molding. 
                                       ① The flow distance is about 20% longer than that of 80N.
                                             (It is equal to that of conventional PMMA which MFR is about 4g/10min..)
                                       ② Molding cycle time is expected to shorten for large-sized or thick-walled parts.    
                                       ③ This resin makes possible to mold more complicated shape or thin-walled  parts in 
comparison with conventional PMMA. 
                                  -   DELPET 80NE has the same mechanical strength, heat resistance and solvent resistance as 80N. 
                                  -   DELPET 80NE has higher swelling ratio than conventional PMMA, so improvement of the jetting problem is expected. 
                                       * Swelling : Swelling of molten resin after the passage through a injection gate.      
                                       * Jetting :Flow of molten resin in contact with a mold surface deficiently, after the passage through a injection gate. 
                                A line-shaped mark occurs in the vicinity of a gate. 
                                  -   DELPET 80NE has high transparency, high gloss surface and other  typical properties as the 
same as conventional PMMA.
