Product Description
PMMA is excellent in impact resistance compared to general glasses, but relatively lower among plastics so it is demanded to be improved in this respect. LG MMA has improved the impact resistance of PMMA using acrylic rubbers, and maintained the weatherability. Impact resistant grade of PMMA is applied to the area where impact strength is required such as signboards, lightings, displays, and vending machines.
