General-purpose transparent unmodified PMMA is a basic-grade polymethyl methacrylate produced from methyl methacrylate (MMA) via bulk or suspension polymerization without fillers or modifiers. It features exceptional light transmittance (≥92%), excellent weather resistance, and good mechanical strength.
Optical-grade PMMA is a high-end category in the PMMA product family, produced using high-purity MMA monomer and continuous bulk polymerization process, with strict control of impurities, yellowing index, and birefringence.
Abrasion-Resistant / Scratch-Resistant PMMA
Abrasion-resistant/scratch-resistant PMMA is produced by applying a hard coat (such as silicon-based, acrylic UV-curable coating, or nano-ceramic coating) on the PMMA substrate surface, or by co-extrusion to form a wear-resistant layer on the PMMA surface. Surface pencil hardness can reach 2H~4H (vs. HB~1H for untreated PMMA), with abrasion resistance improved 5~10×. It is widely used in applications with frequent contact or cleaning, such as electronic touch panels and automotive interiors.
Glass fiber reinforced PMMA is produced by incorporating short-cut glass fibers (typically 10%~30% content) into the PMMA matrix. The addition of glass fibers significantly improves tensile strength, flexural modulus, heat resistance, and dimensional stability.
Flame-retardant grade PMMA incorporates halogen-free flame retardants (organic phosphorus-based, silicon-based, etc.) or reactive flame-retardant monomers to achieve UL94 V-2 to V-0 ratings, with some high-end products reaching 5VA level. This series maintains high light transmittance (≥88%) while meeting fire safety regulations for rail transit, construction, and electrical appliances. It is one of the fastest-growing functional PMMA varieties in recent years.
Heat-resistant grade PMMA is produced by copolymerizing heat-resistant monomers (such as maleic anhydride MAH, cyclohexyl methacrylate CHMA, etc.) or adding heat-resistant fillers, raising the heat deflection temperature to 105~130°C, with some high-end grades reaching 140°C. This series is specifically developed for transparent components requiring long-term high-temperature resistance, such as automotive headlamp lenses, water heater windows, and HVAC panels.
