Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) / Acrylic

Based on 566 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) presents as a rigid thermoplastic with exceptional optical clarity and a glass-like appearance. Key features include outstanding optical properties and clarity, exceptional UV resistance, good surface hardness, excellent weatherability, and relatively easy thermoforming capabilities. PMMA excels in applications like architectural glazing, automotive lighting lenses, signs, displays, medical devices, and decorative items. 

Alternatives to PMMA include polycarbonate. Current market trends include the development of enhanced impact-modified grades for safety applications and growing demand in medical applications due to biocompatibility. PMMA varieties include impact-modified versions, UV-absorbing grades, and nanocomposite PMMA formulations.

ACRYLITE® SunResist ZS61 Polymer

by Roehm

ACRYLITE® SunResist ZS61 Polymer by Roehm is an impact-modified, amorphous polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) grade. It is suitable for processing by injection molding and co-extrusion. Exhibits high heat-, weather-, scratch-, chemical-, abrasion and stress cracking resistance. It offers enhanced UV light absorption, good melt flow rate, and low lubricant levels. <br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It forms an ultra‑thin co‑extruded protective layer that blocks harmful UV light up to 400 nm, helping preserve color and surface integrity and reducing fading and degradation over time. </li> <li>It exhibits high UV light resistance, durability and excellent transmission. </li> <li>It provides high flexural strength, strong notched izod impact resistance, and elevated heat deflection temperature. </li> <li>It elevates finished parts with a premium surface quality. </li> <li>Offers precise gloss control and surface hardness, enabling high-end aesthetics without sacrificing robustness. </li> <li>It is recommended for outdoor applications including outdoor furniture, transportation, recreational components, and sanitaryware (pools, shower panels, outdoor sinks and spa). </li> <li>It is used in building and constructions, including window profiles, doors, decking, cladding, siding, railing and fencing. </li> <li>ACRYLITE® SunResist ZS61 Polymer is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016.</li></ul>
