DELPET (Asahi Kasei)

Asahi Kasei acrylic resin(PMMA) DELPET™ has an exellent transparency , surface hardness and weatherability. Main applications of DELPET™ are outer/inner parts for automobile , optical goods , industrial and general parts/goods. We also have High-performance grade such as highly heat resistant PMMA grades and BIMODAL grades.

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.
