PMMA Clear Material, commonly known as acrylic or organic glass, is a thermoplastic with high transparency, excellent optical properties and good mechanical properties. It has become an ideal substitute for glass with its excellent light transmittance, weather resistance, processability and cost-effectiveness.
PMMA has a light transmittance of up to 92%, close to glass (95%), but weighs only half of glass and has stronger impact resistance (7-18 times that of glass). This feature makes it excellent in scenes that require a clear view, such as car headlights, building skylights, etc.
It has excellent UV resistance and is not easy to fade, yellow or brittle when exposed to outdoor environments for a long time. It is suitable for products such as billboards and outdoor lamps that need to withstand wind and sun for a long time.
It has strong tensile and impact resistance. PMMA that has been stretched can even be used for bulletproof glass and military aircraft canopies. Although its hardness is lower than that of glass, its wear resistance can be significantly improved through surface hardening treatment.
It has strong corrosion resistance to chemical substances such as acid, alkali, and salt, but it needs to avoid contact with organic solvents such as dichloroethane and chloroform.
Good processing performance
It can be processed by various processes such as injection molding, extrusion, casting, and thermoforming. It is easy to bond, cut, drill, screen print, etc., and is suitable for customized production of complex shapes.
The glass transition temperature is 104℃, the maximum continuous use temperature is between 65℃-95℃, and the heat deformation temperature is about 96℃ (1.18MPa), which is suitable for non-high temperature environments.
Low dielectric constant and loss, strong arc resistance, suitable for the field of electronic appliances.
It meets the green material standards and can be recycled and reused by physical or chemical methods.
PMMA particles are heated and melted by an injection molding machine and injected into the mold, cooled and shaped. It is suitable for making complex-shaped products such as lamps and instrument panels.
Used to produce profiles such as sheets and pipes, such as building skylights, advertising light boxes, etc.
Pour liquid PMMA into a mold for curing, suitable for the production of large-size sheets or special-shaped parts.
After the PMMA sheet is heated and softened, it is pressed into a specific shape through a mold, such as a car rearview mirror, bathtub, etc.
Including hardening coating, anti-glare treatment, etc., to improve wear resistance and optical properties.

Maintenance and cleaning
Use a soft cloth or lint-free cloth to wipe to avoid scratching the surface.
Use warm water and a small amount of neutral detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) to gently wipe, and avoid strong acid and alkaline detergents.
Stubborn stains can be treated with alcohol or special detergents.
Maintenance suggestions
Check the integrity of the product regularly, avoid sharp objects from contacting the surface, and prevent scratches.
Keep away from high temperature and heavy pressure during storage, and keep in a dry and ventilated environment.
Minor scratches can be treated with special repair agents, and deeper scratches are recommended to contact professional repairs.
