Translucent material recommendation - injection molding
J
Hi, I’m looking for recommendations on injection molding material. I’m in the process of placing an order and need to find material that offers specific properties. I require it to be translucent and UV resistant, along with impact resistance suitable for thicker moldings (7 mm). Additionally, the material should be non-staining and not yellow over time. What might be my options here?
