PLEXIGLAS is a registered trade name for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as acrylic glass. The brand encompasses PMMA molding compounds and semi-finished products such as sheets, films, tubes, and rods used as lightweight, shatter-resistant alternatives to mineral glass. PLEXIGLAS materials are valued for high optical clarity and light transmission, weathering and UV resistance, surface hardness, and ease of fabrication and thermoforming.
Applications span construction and architecture (glazing, façades, skylights, noise barriers), automotive and transportation (lighting, glazing, interior trim), signage and displays, lighting and optics, and electronics. PLEXIGLAS is also used in medical and industrial components where transparency, durability, and chemical resistance are required. In some regions the brand is marketed alongside or under related names (for example, ACRYLITE), reflecting historical trademark arrangements. PMMA from the PLEXIGLAS family can be mechanically recycled or chemically depolymerized back to MMA monomer, and the industry is advancing grades incorporating recycled and bio-based feedstocks.
