Features & Benefits

High Heat Resistance & Stability

Apec® 2097 withstands temperatures up to 202°C (VST), preventing deformation in high-stress environments. Ideal for automotive parts exposed to engine heat or intense lighting systems.

UV Protection for Longevity

UV-stabilized to resist yellowing and degradation, Covestro Apec 2097 maintains optical clarity (89% transmittance) for outdoor applications like headlamp lenses exposed to sunlight.

Easy-Release Molding Efficiency

Low-stick formulation reduces demolding time and minimizes part damage, streamlining production of complex geometries like lamp covers while cutting manufacturing costs.
