AKU®-CRYL PMMA-XT CIRCULAR BARS or FULL BARS made of extruded acrylic glass

Polymethyl methacrylate extruded

often abbreviated as PMMA XT, is a special form of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that is produced by extrusion.
PMMA XT is better known under the trade name Plexiglas®.

Properties of PMMA XT:

• High transparency:
  PMMA XT is characterized by exceptional optical clarity and transparency comparable to that of glass. This makes it a popular material in applications where a clear view is required.

• Lightweight:
  PMMA XT is lighter than glass, which results in easier handling and lower weight in applications.

• Good weather resistance:
  PMMA XT is stable against UV radiation and shows good weather resistance. It does not yellow as easily as some other plastics.

• Chemical resistance:
  PMMA XT is resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for applications in various industrial environments.

• Good workability:
  PMMA XT is easy to process and can be formed into various shapes by extrusion. It is also easy to cut, mill and can be thermoformed.

• Breaking strength:
  Although PMMA XT is not as impact-resistant as some other plastics, it still has a certain breaking strength.

Applications of PMMA XT:

PMMA XT is used in a wide range of applications, including:

• Architecture: windows, roof glazing, roofing and other architectural elements.

• Advertising and display: Plexiglas® is often used for billboards, illuminated advertising and display applications.

• Interior fittings: furniture, decorative elements, lighting fixtures and more.

• Medical technology: Transparent housings, instruments and medical devices.

• Art and design: Plexiglas® is often used in art and design for various creative projects.

PMMA XT offers a wide range of applications due to its transparency and processability and is often used as a substitute for glass in various areas.
