FAQ – PMMA (Acrylic) Plastic
Q1: What is PMMA?
A1: PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), also known as Acrylic, is a transparent thermoplastic often called “plastic crystal” due to its outstanding clarity and light transmission.
Q2: What are the main advantages of PMMA?
A2: PMMA offers exceptional light transmission (>92%), weather resistance, UV stability, anti-yellowing performance, and excellent surface hardness. It is also lightweight and easy to process.
Q3: How does PMMA compare to glass?
A3: PMMA is lighter than glass, has higher impact resistance, and provides superior light transmission. Unlike glass, it is shatter-resistant and easier to shape into complex designs.
Q4: In which industries is PMMA commonly used?
A4: PMMA is widely used in automotive lighting (tail lights, signal covers), advertising light boxes, optical lenses, architectural skylights, aquariums, and decorative panels.
Q5: Is PMMA weather-resistant for outdoor applications?
A5: Yes, PMMA has excellent UV resistance and anti-aging performance, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use without yellowing or significant degradation.
Q6: What processing methods are suitable for PMMA?
A6: PMMA can be processed by injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, CNC machining, and laser cutting, making it highly versatile for different applications.
Q7: Do you provide customized PMMA grades?
A7: Yes, we offer PMMA with customized colors, light diffusion, impact resistance, and surface finishes to meet specific customer requirements.
Q8: Can I get technical support or samples?
A8: Absolutely. Our technical team can assist with material selection, and we provide samples for testing before bulk orders.
