Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), better known as acrylic, is a transparent plastic with a range of properties that make it suitable for a wide range of uses.

Not all PMMA beads are created equal. PMMA is typically produced via suspension polymerisation from a monomer, methyl methacrylate (MMA), into...

Artificial acrylic nails are designed to make the wearer look amazing, whatever the circumstances. Whether dipped or sculpted, the highest quality acrylic nail powders must have fundamental properties that keep the final artificial nails looking beautiful.

These include consistent colour dispersal, c...

Acrylic is a popular choice for many casting and modelling applications, particularly in the production of dental prostheses and cosmetic nails. End users have the relatively simple job of mixing a monomer liquid and a polymer powder to make a dough, which once moulded and cured, forms the desired p...

Peroxides are highly effective polymerisation initiators and the driving force behind the production of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beads. But peroxides are not without their challenges. Peroxide storage and its use must be tightly regulated, both for safety reasons and to ensure polymer ...

Quality control is the backbone of all manufacturing businesses, driving consistency, compliance and high standards. But this key function is a balancing act, relying on teams to set accurate benchmarks and employ reliable testing procedures. When working with polymers, this involves a detailed know...

Every industry, and indeed every application, places unique requirements on plastics. Over time, our knowledge of chemistry has grown, presenting brand new opportunities to improve the mechanical and chemical performance of materials. With these properties, manufacturers can significantly improve th...

Poly(methyl methacrylate), commonly abbreviated as PMMA, is one of the most important polymers on the planet. Polymerised using the Methyl methacrylate monomer, PMMA is used in hundreds of applications, each requiring a unique set of characteristics to offer optimum performance.

PMMA is used in every...
