About PMMA (Acrylic)
And PMMA; polymethyl methacrylate or the widely referred to as acrylic. This is a kind of plastic, which is translucent, rigid material and is highly used in a wide variety of applications. Can you think of a concurrently as strong and transparent material for a glass – that is the miracle of PMMA. Due to its versatility PMMA is available in sheets or rods that makes it very useful when it comes to an object made of cutting and shaping.
But wait there is more: PMMA can be utilized in 3D printing for even more applications in creative work! Thus, next time you encounter something clear and strong, it might well be PMMA making its practical and application oriented cameo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is PMMA used?
Commonly referred to as Plexiglas or acrylic, pol (methyl methacrylate), abbreviated PMMA Due to its biocompatibility, PMMA material is referred to as bone cement in medical. PMMA is the most commonly used alternative of glass due to a lower weight and also it being shatter-resistant, breaking into large parts when shattered upon hard impact. ok good
Is PMMA breakable?
Unlike most other applications, PMMA does not shatter. No, it shatters into big old nasty looking chunks. PMMA is find as it does not shatter but since PMMA is softer and can be scratched much easier than glass, while some are more scratch-resistant if coated with other materials.
What are the disadvantages of PMMA?
Scratch Resistance: Acrylic is less scratch resistant than glass…
Lithe Solvent Immunity: Acrylic is not highly immune to a variety of solvents, such as acetone or alcohol….
Acrylic is prone to brittleness: Acrylic compared with some other plastics, for example shell can be relatively brittle.
Is PMMA soluble in water?
As PMMA is insoluble in water, to ensure good dispersity of the PMMA particles within water an additional polymer which can achieve effective compatibilisation between the two must be employed
What is the work function of PMMA?
PMMA dictates biomedical applications, e.g., in blood pumps or as a dialyser [13], by its outstanding bio- and hemocompatibility along with the easy handling. Such optical properties suggest that this material would make it as an ideal choice for the use in implantable ocular lens and hard contact lenses.
Is PMMA better than glass?
PMMA is sturdier as compared to its glass counterpart and thus less susceptible to breaking. Its strength in relation to the others substitutes glass for window construction and domed skylights, signage, and displays.
Is PMMA a good material?
Polymethyl Methacrylate is a Thermoplastic Resin with an amazingly large versatility, being used as compared to glass because of its mechanical years and the fact that it is cheap, light weight.
What is the difference between PMMA and acrylic?
Acrylic is a transparent thermoplastic often used as an alternative to glass and polycarbonate (PC); the material has been sold under several different names []. PMMA (i.e., acrylic glass) history is all the way to 1843 when acrylic acid was first isolated.
Does PMMA react with water?
The specificity in the case of PMMA is a presence of an ester functional group (in particular, it belongs to methyl methacrylate), which results with great differentiation between macroscopic properties compared with PAA as i.a. high hydrostability against water concentration.
