SMMA Resin

High Optical Clarity

SMMA resin achieves 91% light transmission with crystal-clear transparency, superior to standard acrylics. Perfect for premium display cases and LED covers.

Easy Processing & Versatile Forming

Low processing temperature (180-220°C), minimal shrinkage (0.4-0.6%), excellent mold flow. Compatible with standard molding equipment.

Excellent Chemical Resistance

Resists acids, alkalis, and household cleaners. Maintains clarity after exposure to common chemicals. No crazing or surface degradation.

Food-Grade & BPA-Free

FDA-compliant, meets EU 10/2011 standards. Zero BPA leaching makes it safe for food containers and medical packaging applications.

Superior Impact Strength

Enhanced molecular structure provides 2.5x better impact resistance than regular styrene, with excellent dimensional stability under stress.

Printability & Adhesion

Surface energy optimized for ink adhesion. Supports UV, solvent-based printing, and metallization. No pre-treatment needed for decoration.

Applications of SMMA Plastic:

Packaging Industry (Transparent containers, blister packs, and clamshell packaging)

Medical Devices (Clear medical containers, diagnostic devices, and lab equipment)

Consumer Goods (Cosmetic containers, durable storage solutions, and retail packaging)

Retail Displays (High-clarity sheets for signage, point-of-sale displays, and printed graphics)
