Engineering Brilliance in Optical Clarity

Transform your transparent applications with our Polymethyl Methacrylate portfolio, where glass-like clarity meets weather resistance in a versatile acrylic polymer.

Understanding PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate)

Polymethyl Methacrylate represents the gold standard in transparent plastics, achieved through its unique molecular architecture of methyl methacrylate units. Like perfectly arranged glass panels, PMMA's amorphous structure allows for exceptional light transmission – up to 92%, exceeding even glass itself. This molecular clarity, combined with outstanding weather resistance, makes PMMA the material of choice for demanding optical applications.

PMMA Classifications

General Purpose Injection Grades

Our injection molding portfolio features MFI ranges from 12 to 22 g/10min (230°C/3.8kg), optimized for excellent flow and optical properties. These grades provide superior clarity and surface finish in injection molded parts. Their controlled molecular weight ensures consistent processing while maintaining the exceptional optical properties PMMA is known for.

Extrusion Grades

Sheet Extrusion Grades

Engineered specifically for sheet production, these grades offer MFI ranges from 2 to 8 g/10min. Their carefully controlled molecular weight distribution ensures excellent sheet formation and surface quality. Perfect for applications requiring large, flat surfaces with optimal optical clarity.

Profile Extrusion Grades

These specialized grades feature MFI ranges from 3 to 6 g/10min, designed for consistent profile extrusion. Their enhanced melt strength ensures stable processing and excellent surface finish in complex profile geometries.

Impact Modified Grades

Impact-resistant variants combine MFI ranges from 4 to 12 g/10min with carefully selected rubber modifiers. These grades maintain high clarity while offering significantly improved impact strength, making them ideal for applications requiring both transparency and toughness.

UV Enhanced Grades

Our UV-optimized portfolio incorporates special stabilizers while maintaining standard MFI ranges. These grades offer enhanced protection against UV radiation and outdoor exposure, ensuring long-term clarity and performance in exterior applications.

Applications in Modern Industry

The signage and display industry showcases PMMA's exceptional optical properties. From illuminated signs to retail displays, PMMA provides unmatched clarity and light transmission. Its excellent weather resistance ensures outdoor signs maintain their appearance for years, while its ease of fabrication allows for creative design possibilities.

In architectural applications, PMMA has revolutionized lighting and glazing solutions. From skylights to light pipes, the material's combination of clarity and weather resistance creates durable, attractive solutions for natural and artificial lighting. Large PMMA sheets provide architects with lightweight alternatives to glass, offering both safety and design flexibility.

The automotive industry leverages PMMA's unique properties in lighting applications. From tail light lenses to interior displays, PMMA provides the perfect combination of optical clarity and durability. The material's ability to be moulded into complex shapes while maintaining perfect optical properties enables innovative lighting design.
