Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Market Overview to 2023:
Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is a transparent thermoplastic that is widely used as a lightweight or shatter-resistant substitute for the glass. PMMA or poly (methyl 2‐methyl propanoate) is the polymer of Methyl Methacrylate with chemical formula C5H8O2) n. It is a clear & colorless polymer available in various forms such as pellet and sheet and is marketed by various firms under brand names such as Plexiglas, Acrylite, Perspex, Plazcryl, Acrylplast, Altuglas, and Lucite, etc. PMMA exhibits superior properties such as excellent scratch resistance, transparency, and weather resistance. Additionally, mechanical and optical property degradation caused by UV exposure is minimal with PMMA. Such characteristics have enabled the PMMA applications in varied end-use industries such as construction, signs & displays, automotive, and electronics.
