PMMA (poly­me­thyl methacrylate)

Poly­me­thyl methacry­late semi-finis­hed products are offe­red as extru­ded (XT) or cast (GS) vari­ants. PMMA has very good opti­cal proper­ties and very high trans­pa­rency. In addi­tion, PMMA sheets are available in many colors, UV-stable and in various surface structures.
