Thermoformable material

PMMA plastic transparent and rigid material for industry

The Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also Called Plexiglas, is a Rigid and transparent plastic recognised for its optical brilliance, its durability and its exceptional surface quality.

Used in industrial plastic thermoforming, this Technopolymer constitutes a light and secure alternative to glass, particularly prized for display pieces, decorative cladding and high-end visual applications.

Key properties of PMMA

N

Transparency and optical performance

Transparent PMMA offers superior light transmission of over 90 %, comparable to glass. Its excellent visual clarity allows for the design of plastic presentation parts, decorative glazing, or high-end signage elements.

N

Rigidity and dimensional stability

Via a rigid and homogeneous structure, industrial PMMA guarantees stable mechanical resistance, even under stress. It is an ideal rigid polymer for the manufacture of technical plastic parts or presentation stands subjected to repeated stresses.

N

Premium brilliance and finish

Glossy PMMA is distinguished by its smooth, homogeneous surface, providing a premium finish without additional polishing. Its quality of finish makes it a benchmark material for visual displays and decorative products where the perception of quality is essential.

N

UV resistance and durability

Thermoformed Plexiglas retains its transparency and shine even after prolonged sun exposure. Its resistance to ageing guarantees aesthetic durability for several years, even outdoors.

N

Lightness and ease of use

Twice as light as glass and highly impact-resistant, PMMA is easy to handle, reduces the weight of objects incorporating thermoformed parts, and improves safety on production lines.
