Overview
PMMA is the standard grade of the PMMA family in the general-purpose plastics group. It is used in applications such as tail-lamp and indicator lenses, illuminated signage and display sheet, lighting covers and light guides. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
Typical properties
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 1,18 g/cm³ |
| Glass transition (Tg) | 105 °C |
| Tensile strength | 70–75 MPa |
| HDT (1.8 MPa) | 90–100 °C |
Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.
Applications
- Tail-lamp and indicator lenses
- Illuminated signage and display sheet
- Lighting covers and light guides
- Sanitary ware and bath sheet
Industries: Construction and building
Documents
The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PMMA are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
