Description
Poly ( methyl methacrylate ) ( PMMA ) is the synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate. It is used as an engineering plastic, and it is a transparent thermoplastic. PMMA is also known as acrylic , acrylic glass , as well as by the trade names and brands Crylux , Hesalite , Plexiglas , Acrylite , Lucite , and Perspex , among several others (see below). This plastic is often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It can also be used as a casting resin, in inks and coatings, and for many other purposes.
It is often technically classified as a type of glass, in that it is a non- crystalline vitreous substance—hence its occasional historic designation as acrylic glass.
