Optical-Grade PMMA
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. It features ultra-high light transmittance (≥93%), low haze (≤0.5%), and excellent refractive index uniformity (Δn<0.0002). It is the core material for high-precision optical components such as LCD/LED light guide plates, optical fibers, and optical lenses, with high technical barriers and exceptional added value.
