SPECTAR UV Copolyester SB039-42AA
SPECTAR copolymer extrudes into plastic sheet that is sparkling clear,
tough, chemically resistant, odor free, versatile, easy to work with and
affordable. Its toughness allows fabricators to use thinner gauge sheet than
with other common materials, resulting in lower material costs. Yet it can
be extruded into sheets as thick as 12 mm (1/2 in.). It extrudes at a low
temperature and will not crystallize or develop a crystalline haze. Cleaning
solutions will not turn SPECTAR copolymer white. SPECTAR copolymer is easy
to fabricate, allowing greater design freedom. It can be laser cut, routed,
welded, drilled, die-punched, bent hot or cold, or joined by screws, rivets
or bolts. It can also be cut on conventional table, band, or radial-arm saws
with blades commonly used for plastic. SPECTAR copolymer can be
vacuum-formed at lower temperatures than other plastics without predrying
the sheet. SPECTAR copolymer can be finished easily. Its edges can be
polished by using commerial edge-finishing equipment, sanding, solvents,
flame-polishing or buffing. It forms clear, strong bonds with commercially
available cements and solvents. It accepts screen-printing, painting, and
hot-stamping easily. Surface scratches or scuff marks can be removed using a
common heat gun. For more information visit the Brands section of
