PMMA shows high rigidity, good chemical resistance and it is transparent to ultraviolet light.

Polymethacrylate is a transparent thermoplastic which is used to replace glass. It is better known under the name of “Plexiglas”, a term which is used incorrectly since it is a brand name. The main advantage of the PMMA is that it is more resistant than glass, but especially more transparent, regardless of its thickness. In addition, it is resistant to ultraviolet light. It recycles very well.

Uses: plv, medical (dental prosthesis, ophthalmic implant…), musical instruments, signs…
