Overview
PARAGLAS™ and COMOGLAS™ are methacrylic resin sheets. Methacrylic resin is sometimes called the “queen of plastics” in Japan because of its exceptional transparency and weather resistance compared with other plastics. These features make PARAGLAS™ and COMOGLAS™ popular choices in a wide range of fields.
PARAGLAS™ is a cast sheet with excellent surface properties and high purity. It is made using Kuraray’s unique manufacturing technique of injecting a liquid monomer between two sheets of glass and directly curing it. Using batch production for easy toning, we offer a wide array of colored sheets.
COMOGLAS™ is an extruded sheet made using Kuraray’s continuous production technologies. It features outstanding thickness precision, with easy bonding and thermoforming.
