What is Acrylic (PMMA)?
Acrylic, also known as Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), is a transparent thermoplastic widely used as a lightweight, shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It is one of the most popular engineering plastics due to its excellent optical clarity, durability, and versatility.

Key Properties of Acrylic (PMMA)
1. High Transparency
– Up to 92% light transmission (better than glass).
2. Lightweight
– About half the weight of glass, making it easier to handle.
3. Impact Resistance
– More durable than glass, less prone to shattering.
4. Weather & UV Resistance
– Resists yellowing and degradation from sunlight.
5. Chemical Resistance
– Withstands mild acids, alkalis, and cleaning agents.
6. Ease of Fabrication
– Can be cut, drilled, thermoformed, and laser-cut easily.
7. Electrical Insulation
– Good dielectric properties for electronic applications.
8. Color Options
– Available in transparent, translucent, opaque, and fluorescent colors.

Common Applications of Acrylic (PMMA)
1. Signage & Displays (LED lightboxes, exhibition stands, retail displays)
2. Architecture & Construction (Windows, skylights, sound barriers)
3. Automotive & Transportation (Tail lights, instrument panels, aircraft windows)
4. Lighting (LED covers, diffusers, light guides)
5. Medical & Lab Equipment (Protective barriers, incubators, test tubes)
6. Consumer Products (Aquariums, picture frames, furniture)
7. Industrial & Machinery (Safety guards, inspection windows)

Advantages of Acrylic vs. Glass & Other Plastics
✔ Clearer than glass (better light transmission).
✔ Stronger than glass (10x more impact-resistant).
✔ Easier to machine than polycarbonate (PC).
✔ More scratch-resistant than many plastics.
✔ Cost-effective compared to polycarbonate.
✔ Long lifespan (resists weathering for outdoor use).
