Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic glass or plexiglass, is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic valued for its excellent optical clarity, UV resistance, and aesthetic appearance. It is a lighter, safer alternative to glass in applications demanding transparency, weatherability, and visual appeal.Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic glass or plexiglass, is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic valued for its excellent optical clarity, UV resistance, and aesthetic appearance.
