NUDEC® PMMA
NUDEC® PMMA plastic sheets show excellent stability to outside weather conditions, including UV radiation. Even after years of exposure to sunlight, the sheets do not show any substantial variations in their optical properties. This makes them ideal for an infinite number of outside and inside products permitting multiple applications. Their high optical quality makes them suitable for certain filters (TV and computer), for glazing and even suitable for manufacturing mirror production.

- Storage
An incorrect storage position can lead to permanent deformation.; The sheets should be stored in closed premises that guarantee normal environmental conditions.; The sheets should be stored one on top of the other on flat horizontal surfaces and fully supported over their total area.; The topmost panel should be covered with a sheet of polyethylene or cardboard etc.; NUDEC®PMMA sheets must not be stored in direct sunlight or under conditions of high humidity and/or temperature as this can have a negative effect of protective film adhesion.
