Application
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) also known as acrylic or acrylic glass as well as by the trade names Plexiglas Acrylite Lucite and Perspex among several others (see below) is a transparent thermoplastic often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. The same material can be utilised as a casting resin in inks and coatings and has many other uses.
Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.
General Description
PMMA is an economical alternative to polycarbonate (PC) when extreme strength is not necessary. Additionally PMMA does not contain the potentially harmful bisphenol-A subunits found in polycarbonate. It is often preferred because of its moderate properties easy handling and processing and low cost.
