polymethyl methacrylate

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a clear, durable plastic commonly known as acrylic or plexiglass. It is used as a lightweight alternative to glass in applications like windows, displays, and protective screens. PMMA has excellent optical clarity and is resistant to UV light and weathering, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It also has good impact resistance, though it can scratch more easily than glass. PMMA can be shaped and molded in various forms, which makes it versatile for many uses, from signage to medical applications like lenses in devices.
