PMMA and injection molding. PMMA is the abbreviation of (polymethyl methacrylate), commonly known as acrylic. Although it has different names like Plexiglass, Crylux, Acrylite, Lucite, etc. Due to its properties, acrylic glass is increasingly in demand in the manufacturing industry. In the modern industrial age, PMMA (acrylic) is widely used in many applications including lenses, acrylic nails, paints, security barriers, medical equipment, LCD screens due to its natural transparency and clarity and the impact resistance of some variants , furniture, windows, tanks and enclosures around exhibits.

Why PMMA Or Acrylic Is Perfect For Injection Molding?

PMMA or acrylic is thermoplastic with high transparency, high flexibility, and chemical resistant, weather-resistant and light weight. It is preferred over poly-carbonate (PC) because of its properties i.e. easy to process, low cost and flexibility. PMMA material is widely used in rapid manufacturing industries to fabricate fine prototypes. As acrylic is thermoplastic which means it can be liquefied at its melting point and can be restored to its original shape upon cooling. So, this feature of PMMA or acrylic makes it perfect for injection molding.
