Description

Key Benefits

Feature Why it matters
Very high flow – MFR ≈ 18 g/10 min (220 °C / 10 kg*) Rapidly fills ≤0.4 mm walls and multi-cavity tools, cutting clamp force and cycle time.
Exceptional transparency (≈ 90 % transmittance, 3 mm) Delivers “glass-look” clarity for premium jars, light guides and protective covers.
Tougher than acrylic – Notched Izod ≈ 170 J/m at 23 °C Survives drop shocks; no brittle shatter like pure PMMA.
Chemical-gloss resistance MMA matrix resists crazing from alcohol fragrances, hand-sanitisers and detergents.
Design freedom Clear base accepts dyes, pearlescent masterbatch, laser etching and vacuum-plating without primer.

*Nominal value from Toray literature for the 990-series “X-flow” grade.

4. Applications & Compliance

Typical Applications

  • Super-thin cosmetic caps, airless-pump components and perfume bottle collars.

  • Transparent blender lids, kettle windows and water reservoirs in premium appliances.

  • LED light pipes, diffuser lenses, illuminated logo badges.

  • Diagnostic cartridges, cuvettes and instrument covers (non-implant).

  • High-clarity toys, stationery, phone stands and display risers.

Compliance / Processing Notes

  • Rated UL 94 HB; halogen-free formulation.

  • Toray supplies RoHS (EU 2015/863) and REACH (SVHC) compliance statements; some lots offer ISO 10993 data on request.

  • Dry 75–80 °C for 2 h; barrel 220–250 °C; mould 40–60 °C for maximum clarity.

  • Limit colour masterbatch ≤ 3 % to preserve transparency; use low-shear screws for optical parts.

Toray MABS 990-X88 lets designers mould ultra-clear, thin-wall parts fast – and keep them tough, glossy and chemical-resistant in everyday use.
