Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a transparent, rigid, and weather-resistant thermoplastic widely used as a lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to glass. Known for its excellent optical clarity, PMMA provides high light transmission, UV stability, and surface hardness, making it suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor applications.
PMMA offers a balance of mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance, while also delivering ease of processing through extrusion, injection molding, casting, and thermoforming.
Key Features:
Exceptional optical clarity (up to 92% light transmission)
Excellent weatherability and UV resistance
High surface hardness and scratch resistance
Good rigidity and dimensional stability
Lightweight compared to glass
Easily processed and colored
Applications:
Lighting diffusers, lenses, and optical components
Signage and display panels
Automotive lighting and interior components
Protective barriers and glazing
Medical device housings
Consumer goods, appliances, and electronics
