Acrylic resins are a group of related thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substances derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or other related compounds. Polymethyl acrylate is an acrylic resin used in an emulsed form for lacquer, textile finishes, adhesives and, mixed with clay, to gloss paper.

What is acrylic resin?

Acrylic resin is a general term for any one of the plastics (resin) generated through chemical reaction by applying polymerization initiator and heat to a monomer.
   The chemical name for the resin produced from the Methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA) is Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). MMA is a transparent and colorless fluid substance. One of the main characteristic features of PMMA is its high transparency. With its high weather resistance, it doesn't easily turn yellow or crumble by sunlight. Polymethyl methacrylate are used not only for transparent windows in aquariums but also for various items such as signboards in places like convenience stores, taillights of automobiles, cell phone display screens, backlight optical waveguides for liquid crystal displays (LCD) and so on.
