Polyarylate resin

U polymer

U series resins (Transparent chemical-resistant grade)

U series resins are polymer alloys that are improved in resistance to oils and chemicals, the shortcoming of amorphous resins. They are transparent and have a greater moisture-blocking property than other resins having similar structures. They are also suitable for blow molding.

Characteristics

  1. Transparent, resistant to chemicals, especially to oils, alcohols and others
  2. Weather Resistance
  3. Blended into PET resins for improvement in heat resistance.
