Acrylic glass, also known as plexiglass, is a transparent thermoplastic material that is often used as a lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It is made from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and is known for its clarity, allowing up to 92% of light to pass through. This makes it a popular choice for applications like windows, displays, and protective barriers. In addition to its optical properties, acrylic glass is also versatile and can be easily shaped, cut, and colored. It is resistant to UV light and weathering, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its durability and ease of maintenance contribute to its widespread use in various industries, including signage, automotive, and architecture.
