Akrüülplekk

Akrüülplekk, also known as acrylic sheeting or acrylic glass, is a transparent thermoplastic often used as a lightweight, shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It is chemically known as poly(methyl methacrylate) or PMMA. Akrüülplekk is manufactured through polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomer. Its key properties include high optical clarity, excellent weather resistance, and a glossy surface. It is also significantly lighter than glass, making it easier to handle and install.

The material is known for its impact resistance, though it is more prone to scratching than glass. Akrüülplekk can be easily fabricated through cutting, drilling, bending, and bonding, allowing for a wide range of applications. It is available in various colors, tints, and finishes, including opaque, translucent, and mirrored surfaces.

Common uses for akrüülplekk include windows and skylights, display cases, signage, furniture, aquariums, and protective barriers. Its versatility and durability have made it a popular choice in both industrial and consumer markets. While it can yellow over prolonged exposure to UV radiation, specialized grades with UV stabilizers are available to mitigate this issue.
