PMMA – Polymethylmethacrylate

PMMA: Plexiglas, Deacon

Typical applications

Construction and architecture

• Glazing: Windows on carports, greenhouses, skylights on roofs and balcony glazing.
• Transparent panels: Noise barriers along highways, where transparency and UV resistance are key.
• Interior design: Partition walls, shower cubicles, translucent furniture (chairs, coffee tables) and railings.

Advertising and visual communications

• Illuminated signs: Illuminated signs, company logos and advertising pylons (PMMA diffuses light perfectly and evenly).
• Sales equipment: Flyer stands, display cases in stores, sales counters and exhibition exhibits at trade fairs.
• Signs: Signage boards, routing systems and decorative wall panels.

Automotive and transportation industry

• Light fixtures: Covers for car taillights, turn signals and interior ambient lighting.
• Vehicle glazing: Windows and windshields for camper trailers, motorcycles, boats (nautical program) and light aircraft.

Medicine and nursing

• Ophthalmology: Manufacturing of intraocular lenses (which are inserted into the eye during cataract surgery) and contact lenses.
• Dentistry: Production of dentures, crowns and bridges (due to high biocompatibility).
• Equipment: Incubators for newborns, protective barriers in laboratories and medical device housings.

Wide consumption and optics

• Optical lenses: Lenses for glasses, magnifying glasses, cameras, microscopes and laser heads.
• Screens: Protective layers for television screens, computer monitors and smartphones.
• Household: Aquariums (larger public aquariums are almost always made of PMMA), food containers, decorative vases and bathroom accessories.
