akrüüli
Akrüüli refers to a family of polymers and resins derived from acrylic acid and its esters, collectively known as acrylates. The most widely used member is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly called acrylic glass. Acrylic materials are valued for high optical clarity, lightweight firmness, and versatile processing.
Chemistry and production: The basic building blocks are acrylate and methacrylate monomers, such as methyl acrylate,
Properties: Acrylic polymers are typically transparent and weather resistant. PMMA, in particular, offers excellent optical clarity
Applications: Akrüüli polymers are used in architectural glazing, signage, lighting covers, and automotive or aerospace components.
History: Commercial development of acrylic plastics began in the early 20th century. Brand names such as Plexiglas
Safety and environment: Some monomers and processing intermediates are irritants; proper ventilation and handling are important.
