Product Information
HP stands for high productivity. ASTARIGLAS® HP is specifically designed to improve fabrication productivity and the quality of the bond for applications where adhesion is a key property in the manufacturing process.
ASTARIGLAS® HP offers relatively similar properties to our GP grades, but with the benefit that fabricators can enjoy improved productivities in its fabrication process. This range of products offers:
- Excellent optical properties
- Weather resistance
- High impact resistance
Benefit
- Improved productivity : faster glue set up time
- Higher bond strength
- Better wet-out of glue : visually appealing bonds, suitable for POP and display products
Technical Info
| Fabrication | ASTARIGLAS® HP | ASTARIGLAS® GP |
| Gluing | Glue sets quickly, good wetting, excellent bond strength, superior visual bond | Standard – works well with normal glues at full strength |
| Flame polishing | Outstanding | Good |
| Heat bending | Excellent | More heat needs to be applied |
| Machining (CNC) | Longer shavings are observed | Short shavings and chips |
| Thermoforming | Shorter cycle time for heating and improved definition | Longer cycle time and lower definition |
Application Areas
ASTARIGLAS® HP is a perfect choice for all acrylic applications where gluing is key in its manufacturing process.
