Luminaire and display parts
Transparent covers, display components and light-guide parts evaluated against target geometry.
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.
Thin-wall and long-flow parts
Parts where cavity filling and longer or more demanding flow paths guide the grade choice.
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.
| Grade | Primary profile | MFR 230°C / 3.8 kg | Vicat | HDT | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| V2 | General-purpose injection Higher heat profile | 2.0 g/10 min | 107°C | 101°C | Luminaire covers, display and transparent technical parts |
| V6 | High-flow injection Thin-wall and long-flow | 14.0 g/10 min | 89°C | 84°C | Thin-wall parts, longer flow paths, packaging and display components |
Both grades: luminous transmittance ≥93% and haze 0.3% at 3 mm.
Grade selection support
Choose between V2 and V6 for your part.
Use part geometry, heat requirements and flow demand to narrow the choice before a mold trial.
01Current resin
Use the supplier, grade and known data as a comparison baseline.
02Part geometry
Dimensions, wall thickness, gate and approximate flow length.
03Performance priorities
Heat resistance, flow, optical appearance or another critical requirement.
04Trial plan
Target mold, evaluation quantity and timing for the material trial.
Narrow the choice before your mold trial.
