Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is an acrylic
glass made from transparent thermoplastics most commonly known by its trade
names Plexiglas, Perspex or Lucite. The product is widely used as an
alternative to conventional glass in applications that may compromise consumer
safety in case of breakage.
Originally developed in 1928, the product was
commercialized by the Rohm and Haas Company in 1933 under the trademark
Plexiglas. Ever since then, this shatter-resistant, flame-retardant and
lightweight material has increasingly gained popularity in several applications
such as lighting, healthcare, automotive & construction.
The product is an economical and sustainable
alternative to other plastics such as polycarbonates owing to its extreme
strength and lack of harmful chemicals such as bisphenol-A. The product is also
being used in the rapidly expanding liquid roofing industry since it has one of
the fastest curing times of any liquid applied membranes.

PMMA also has the capability to cure in
relatively lesser time and is compatible with almost all substrates. This makes
it highly desirable for membrane manufacturers, with dominant companies such as
Sika AG (Liquid Plastics) announcing the incorporation of PMMA in its
portfolio.
These laminates are generally impregnated onto
paper, fiberglass, and carbon among other substrates to derive long-lasting
electrical components, laminate boards, speed-bearings and even automotive
components.
The product has also exhibited strong growth
potential in the automotive industry, as the sector shifts rapidly towards
adoption of lightweight components in order to promote fuel savings and
contribute to higher engine efficiency, ultimately meeting stringent carbon
emission standards.
Raw material methyl methacrylate (MMA) has
recently come under the cross-fire owing to its toxic nature, and price
volatility. However, the industry is steadily moving towards bio-based
materials that conform to sustainability standards and eliminate emissions
while even processing PMMA.
