The Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) market is categorized, by grade, into General and optical Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA). The general grade PMMA is easy to process and has good mechanical strength. It is used for different applications like food containers, car tail lamps, and soundproofing walls. It is transparent with supreme weather, electrical, and chemical resistance, unmatched surface hardness, and coloring properties. On the other hand, optical grade PMMA is designed specifically for applications that require superior optical properties. This grade minimizes heat deformation and maintains high luminance and transparency, making it ideal for high-performance optical applications like taillights and, lighting.
The market for Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is segmented, based on form into pellets, beads, acrylic cast sheets, and extruded sheets. When processing PMMA resin, extruded sheet is the most popular method of processing. The process of producing extruded sheets is continuous, with the resin being transported via a horizontal chamber with moving screws and is known to be cost-effective. Cast acrylic sheets are formed by casting the monomer, methyl methacrylate, mixed with initiators and other additives into a form or mold. They are stronger in nature. Pellets of PMMA are primarily utilized for automobile tail lamps, dashboards, lenses, mixer jars, and microwave oven doors, among other applications. Beads are the least used form of PMMA, which is formed through suspension polymerization.
