Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)

Material properties

• Scratch proof
• Good UV resistance
• Highly transparent
• Good chemical resistance

Material used in luminaire construction

PMMA is a hard, transparent material which conducts light excellently - better than normal glass in fact! This optical property obviously lends itself to the production of luminaires.


Material in everyday use

Optics, e.g. spectacle lenses            
Motor vehicles, e.g. direction-indicator lens
