Poly-Methyl-Methacrylate (PMMA)

Poly-Methyl-Methacrylate (PMMA)Description:

Amourphos, transparent and colorless high-perfomance thermoplastic which is both hard and rigid but also refractory and notch-sensitive. PMMA features a good resistance to grinding and UV-radiation as well as excellent optical properties, but it is only little resistant to low temperatures, wear and solvents. Although PMMA is inflammable, it only produces small amounts of smoke while burning.


Usage:

  • wash basins
  • bathroom interiors
  • showcases
  • signposts
  • glazings (especially for aircrafts)
  • lenses
  • lampshades
  • Casted sheets of PMMA: protective devices
