The first nanostructured sheets combining lightness, strength and transparency
On a nanometric scale of the material, our researchers have managed to incorporate
an elastomer which brings previously unattainable properties to acrylic glass, and this
without reducing its transparency.
While maintaining the defining advantages of classic PMMA: transparency, lightness,
insensitivity to UV rays and being easy to machine, the Altuglas® ShieldUp sheet
enhances these with convincing features. Its resistance to shocks and excellent chemical
resistance open up infinite new development opportunities for this revolutionary sheet.
.
Acrylic sheet (polymethylmethacrylate) combines two
components - PMMA and an elastomer, structured at
the nanoscale - which allows for complete transparency
while optimising other properties such as mechanical
and chemical resistance.
Altuglas® ShieldUp:a nanostructured acrylic glass sheet that’s both light and solid
Advantages of Altuglas® ShieldUp
ACRYLIC SHEET
that is 50% lighter than glass and more transparent,
Altuglas® ShieldUp responds to the challenge
faced by the transport industry to find lighter, stronger
materials.
Reducing the weight of a vehicle by 100 kg means
a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by
0.4 litres and about 1kg respectively for every 100km,
without reducing performance.»
Transport A crystal clear view through panoramic
car roofs, at any temperature.
Cars, Motorbike, Aeronautics (light passenger aircraft,
helicopters), Boats, Agricultural and Construction-site
Machinery, Trains and more.
Compatible with main coatings in order to obtain an
optimum abrasion resistance.
Photovoltaics and solar thermics The remarkable transparency lightness and durability can
be taken advantage of in photovoltaic and solar thermal
energy applications.
The formulation of the acrylic sheet reinforces chemical
resistance to aggressive agents such as alcohol, acetone
or other cleaning products.
For the success of your project,
the technical teams adapt to your needs, designing
a product according to your chosen specifications!
On request, the sheets will be produced transparent,
either Colourless or Coloured:
with a thickness from 3mm to 12mm, a format of
3m X 2m and in a variety of finishes (gloss, matt)
depending on your needs.
Altuglas® ShieldUp: The nanostructured acrylic sheet
Exceptional possibilities for a variety of applications
An exceptional material with numerous strong points
This combination of properties significantly broadens the number of common applications for PMMA and offers exceptional possibilities for industries such as:
Altuglas® ShieldUp: a light glass-replacement, a “revolutionary” product
Altuglas® ShieldUp resists shocks and doesn’t bleach no matter what the temperature
Altuglas® ShieldUp resists aggressive chemicals
Naturally resistant to UV light, PMMA is the most
resistant polymer to rays and is often used outside.
Additives commonly used to improve the impact
resistance of acrylic sheets cause a deterioration of
transparency under high temperatures.
Altuglas® ShieldUp benefits from polymerisation
technology developed by Arkema’s R&D department:
BlocBuilder® technology. It gives us complete control
over polymer architecture at the nanometric scale.
The result is a sheet far more resilient to shock and
which retains complete transparency regardless of
the temperature. Safety glazing Guaranteeing the security of public
places: from break-in resistant windows to vanity mirrors.
Choose the winning combination for your needs!
This acrylic glass is «meshed» and structured at the scale of a billionth of a metre to maximize its properties. The result: a light sheet combining strength and transparency no matter what the temperature.
