Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), commonly known as acrylic or plexiglass, is a transparent thermoplastic widely used as a lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to glass. PMMA is known for its clarity, UV resistance, and durability, making it popular in applications like windows, lenses, signs, and protective barriers. It is produced through methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymerization and offers excellent optical properties, with high light transmission and weatherability. PMMA can be easily molded, shaped, or colored, making it versatile in industrial and consumer products.
