ALTUGLAS® BS 440 is a methyl-methacrylate based copolymer available in the form of spherical particles (solid beads). Some free methacrylic acid groups are dispersed all along the chain of the copolymer. ALTUGLAS® BS 440 is recommended as low shrinkage additive for Unsaturated Polyester Curable Resin (UPR) in main industrial processes as BMC/SMC.

The free acid functions contained in ALTUGLAS® BS 440 offer the specific advantage to react with basic oxides fillers with thickening effect, typical in SMC process of UPR.

ALTUGLAS® BS 440 can also be used in acrylic mineral composite to improve the compatibility with some minerals and fillers.
