PMMA / Plexiglas
Optical clarity & low weight
PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), better known as Plexiglas®, is a clear thermoplastic with excellent light transmission and good resistance to UV and weathering. Lightweight, easy to machine and more impact-resistant than glass, it is ideal wherever clarity and appearance matter. PMMA is widely used for glazing, guards, signs, displays, portholes, machine covers and components for industry, visual communication, building and interior fitting.
