Acrylic Manufacturing Process
Acrylic plastic polymers are formed by fusing monomers (methyl metharcrylate) with a catalyst. Catalyst normally can be found in forms like organic peroxide. The catalyst starts the reaction and enters into monomers to keep the process on going, but does not become a part of it in the end product. Acrylic products can be found in three common forms: flat sheets, elongated tubes, and powders. Powders are commonly used in industry for molding purposes. They are manufactured by the process called suspension polymerization, in which the reaction takes place between small tiny droplets of monomer suspended in solution (mixture of catalyst and water). The result is grains of polymer with…

Acrylic – The history of the Plastic Polymer
Acrylic is a member of the synthetic family, or mad-made plastic material that contains acrylic acid if this explanation explains better. The most common acrylic is polymethyl metacrylate (PMMA), commercially known with names like Plexiglass, Lucite, Perspex or Crystallite. All in all they are all the same. They are built tough, transparent with excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and extreme weather conditions. On top of that, they can be easily coloured, moulded, cut and drilled to different shapes and forms. They are ideal for different applications among industries, like airplane windshields, skylights, automobile tail lights, signages etc. Just like any other plastics, acrylic are polymers. The word comes from a…
