What is PMMA Resin?
- Synthetic Polymer: PMMA is a transparent, rigid, and strong thermoplastic. It’s formed through the polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomers. Common Names: You’ll often see this material referred to as:
- Acrylic or acrylic glass
The properties of PMMA resin are;
- Clarity: PMMA is renowned for its excellent light transmission, even clearer than glass.
- Hardness & Strength: It’s a tough material with decent impact resistance.
- Weather Resistance: PMMA offers good resistance to UV light and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor uses.
- Lightweight: It’s about half the weight of glass.
- Easy to Work With: PMMA can be cut, drilled, shaped, and polished.
Why is PMMA Resin Good For Kitchen Sinks?
- Exceptional Stain Resistance: PMMA’s non-porous nature prevents stubborn liquids like coffee, wine, or sauces from penetrating the surface and causing staining.
- Increased Scratch Resistance: The hardness of PMMA enhances the scratch resistance of composite sinks, minimizing wear and tear from daily use.
- Hygiene: The non-porous surface discourages bacteria and mold growth, making the sink more hygienic.
- Heat Resistance: PMMA-based composite sinks can withstand reasonable levels of heat from hot pots and pans.
PMMA Resin is also Used in;
- Shatter resistant Glass
- Skylights
- Aircraft Canopies
- Eyeglass Lenses
- Car Head Lights
- Bathtubs
