FOUR-EDGE BARS made of PMMA-XT and PVC-U

Versatile, lightweight and durable plastic profiles

PVC-U square-edged rods are high-quality plastic profiles made of rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), which are characterized by their versatility, lightness and durability.

Square rods made of PMMA-XT offer an excellent combination of clarity, hardness and chemical resistance.

PMMA-XT (polymethyl methacrylate extruded) is a special variant of PMMA that is characterized by high transparency and UV resistance.

Our square bars are ideal for applications that require high light transmission, such as in the construction industry, in the manufacture of furniture, lights or signs.

Thanks to their excellent visual properties and resistance to weathering, square bars made of PMMA-XT and PVC-U are a popular choice for indoor and outdoor use.

Polymethyl methacrylate extruded

often abbreviated as PMMA XT, is a special form of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that is produced by extrusion.
PMMA XT is better known under the trade name Plexiglas®.

Properties of PMMA XT:

High transparency:
PMMA XT is characterized by exceptional optical clarity and transparency comparable to that of glass. This makes it a popular material in applications where a clear view is required.
Lightweight:
PMMA XT is lighter than glass, which results in easier handling and lower weight in applications.
Good weather resistance:
PMMA XT is stable against UV radiation and shows good weather resistance. It does not yellow as easily as some other plastics.
Chemical resistance:
PMMA XT is resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for applications in various industrial environments.
Good workability:
PMMA XT is easy to process and can be formed into various shapes by extrusion. It is also easy to cut, mill and can be thermoformed.
Breaking strength:
Although PMMA XT is not as impact-resistant as some other plastics, it still has a certain breaking strength.

Applications of PMMA XT:

PMMA XT is used in a wide range of applications, including:

Architecture: windows, roof glazing, roofing and other architectural elements.
Advertising and display: Plexiglas® is often used for billboards, illuminated advertising and display applications.
Interior fittings: furniture, decorative elements, lighting fixtures and more.
Medical technology: Transparent housings, instruments and medical devices.
Art and design: Plexiglas® is often used in art and design for various creative projects.

PMMA XT offers a wide range of applications due to its transparency and processability and is often used as a substitute for glass in various areas.

Polyvinyl chloride unplasticized (PVC-U)

is a form of polyvinyl chloride that is produced without the addition of plasticizers or other plasticizing substances.

Properties of PVC-U:

Hardness and rigidity:
PVC-U is characterized by its high hardness and rigidity. These properties make it particularly suitable for applications where structural integrity and strength are required.

Chemical resistance:
PVC-U is largely resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for use in various industrial environments. It is particularly resistant to acids, alkalis and other aggressive substances.
Temperature resistance:

PVC-U retains its mechanical properties even at higher temperatures, making it suitable for applications in various temperature ranges.
Electrical insulation:
PVC-U has good electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for applications in the electrical industry, especially for cable insulation.
Flame resistance

:

PVC-U is intrinsically flame retardant and can be classified in various fire classes, making it suitable for certain fire protection applications.
Workability:
PVC-U can be formed using various processing methods such as extrusion, injection molding and calendering. This enables the manufacture of a variety of products for different applications.
Applications

:

PVC-U is often used in the construction industry for pipes, window profiles, doors and other building elements. It is also used in the chemical industry, water supply, electrical industry and other technical applications.

The exact properties of PVC-U may vary depending on the manufacturer and formulation.
It is therefore advisable to refer to the specific technical data sheets and recommendations in order to select the right PVC-U product for a particular application.
