A view of acrylic

Acrylic plastic refers to a family of synthetic, or man-made, plastic materials containing one or more derivatives of acrylic products acid. The most common acrylic plastic is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is sold under the brand names of Plexiglas, Lucite, Perspex, and Crystallite. PMMA is a tough, highly transparent material with excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and weathering. It can be colored, molded, cut, drilled, and formed. These properties make it ideal for many applications including airplane windshields, skylights, automobile taillights, and outdoor signs. One notable application is the ceiling of the Houston Astrodome which is composed of hundreds of double-insulating panels of PMMA acrylic plastic.

Like all plastics, acrylic plastics are polymers. The word polymer comes from the Greek words poly, meaning many, and meros, meaning a part. A polymer, therefore, is a material made up of many molecules, or parts, linked together like a chain. Polymers may have hundreds, or even thousands, of molecules linked together. More importantly, a polymer is a material that has properties entirely different than its component parts. The process of making a polymer, known as polymerization, has been likened to shoveling scrap glass, copper, and other materials into a box, shaking the box, and coming back in an hour to find a working color television set. The glass, copper, and other component parts are still there, but they have been reassembled into something that looks and functions entirely differently.

The first plastic polymer, celluloid, a combination of cellulose nitrate and camphor, was developed in 1869. It was based on the natural polymer cellulose, which is present in plants. Celluloid was used to make many items including photographic film, combs, and men's shirt collars.

In 1909, Leo Baekeland developed the first commercially successful synthetic plastic polymer when he patented phenol formalde-hyde resin, which he named Bakelite. Bakelite was an immediate success. It could be machined and molded. It was an excellent electrical insulator and was resistant to heat, acids, and weather. It could also be colored and dyed for use in decorative objects. Bakelite plastic was used in radio, telephone, and electrical equipment, as well as counter tops, buttons, and knife handles.

Acrylic acid was first prepared in 1843. Methacrylic acid, which is a derivative of acrylic acid, was formulated in 1865. When methacrylic acid is reacted with methyl alcohol, it results in an ester known as methyl methacrylate. The polymerization process to turn methyl methacrylate into polymethyl methacrylate was discovered by the German chemists Fittig and Paul in 1877, but it wasn't until 1936 that the process was used to produce sheets of acrylic safety glass commercially. During World War II, acrylic glass was used for periscope ports on submarines and for windshields, canopies, and gun turrets on airplanes.

Acrylic plastic polymers are formed by reacting a monomer, such as methyl methacrylate, with a catalyst. A typical catalyst would be an organic peroxide. The catalyst starts the reaction and enters into it to keep it going, but does not become part of the resulting polymer.

Acrylic plastics are available in three forms: flat sheets, elongated shapes (rods and tubes), and molding powder. Molding powders are sometimes made by a process known as suspension polymerization in which the reaction takes place between tiny droplets of the monomer suspended in a solution of water and catalyst. This results in grains of polymer with tightly controlled molecular weight suitable for molding or extrusion.

Acrylic plastic sheets are formed by a process known as bulk polymerization. In this process, the monomer and catalyst are poured into a mold where the reaction takes place. Two methods of bulk polymerization may be used: batch cell or continuous. Batch cell is the most common because it is simple and is easily adapted for making diy acrylic key chain sheets in thicknesses from 0.06 to 6.0 inches (0.16-15 cm) and widths from 3 feet (0.9 m) up to several hundred feet. The batch cell method may also be used to form rods and tubes. The continuous method is quicker and involves less labor. It is used to make sheets of thinner thicknesses and smaller widths than those produced by the batch cell method.

We will describe both the batch cell and continuous bulk polymerization processes typically used to produce transparent polymethyl methacrylic (PMMA) sheets.

The mold for producing sheets is assembled from two plates of polished glass separated by a flexible "window-frame" spacer. The spacer sits along the outer perimeter of the surface of the glass plates and forms a sealed cavity between the plates. The fact that the spacer is flexible allows the mold cavity to shrink during the polymerization process to compensate for the volume contraction of the material as the reaction goes from individual molecules to linked polymers. In some production applications, polished metal plates are used instead of glass. Several plates may be stacked on top of each other with the upper surface of one plate becoming the bottom surface of the next higher mold cavity. The plates and spacers are clamped together with spring clamps.

An open comer of each mold cavity is filled with a pre-measured liquid syrup of methyl methacrylate monomer and catalyst. In some cases, a methyl methacrylate prepolymer is also added. A prepolymer is a material with partially formed polymer chains used to further help the polymerization process. The liquid syrup flows throughout the mold cavity to fill it.

The mold is then sealed and heat may be applied to help the catalyst start the reaction.

As the reaction proceeds, it may generate significant heat by itself. This heat is fanned off in air ovens or by placing the molds in a water bath. A programmed temperature cycle is followed to ensure proper cure time without additional vaporization of the monomer solution. This also prevents bubbles from forming. Thinner sheets may cure in 10 to 12 hours, but thicker sheets may require several days.

When the plastic is cured, the molds are cooled and opened. The glass or metal plates are cleaned and reassembled for the next batch.

The plastic sheets are either used as is or are annealed by heating them to 284-302°F (140-150°C) for several hours to reduce any residual stresses in the material that might cause warping or other dimensional instabilities.

Any excess material, or flash, is trimmed off the edges, and masking paper products or plastic film is applied to the surface of the finished sheets for protection during handling and shipping. The paper or film is often marked with the material's brand name, size, and handling instructions. Conformance with applicable safety or building code standards is also noted.

The storage, handling, and processing of the chemicals that make acrylic plastics are done under controlled environmental conditions to prevent contamination of the material or unsafe chemical reactions. The control of temperature is especially critical to the polymerization process. Even the initial temperatures of the monomer and catalyst are controlled before they are introduced into the mold. During the entire process, the temperature of the reacting material is monitored and controlled to ensure the heating and cooling cycles are the proper temperature and duration.

Samples of finished acrylic materials are also given periodic laboratory analysis to confirm physical, optical, and chemical properties.

Acrylic plastics manufacturing involves highly toxic substances which require careful storage, handling, and disposal. The polymerization process can result in an explosion if not monitored properly. It also produces toxic fumes. Recent legislation requires that the polymerization process be carried out in a closed environment and that the fumes be cleaned, captured, or otherwise neutralized before discharge to the atmosphere.

Acrylic plastic is not easily recycled. It is considered a group 7 plastic among recycled plastics and is not collected for recycling in most communities. Large pieces can be reformed into other useful objects if they have not suffered too much stress, crazing, or cracking, but this accounts for only a very small portion of the acrylic display case boxes plastic waste. In a landfill, acrylic plastics, like many other plastics, are not readily biodegradable. Some acrylic plastics are highly flammable and must be protected from sources of combustion.

The average annual increase in the rate of consumption of acrylic plastics has been about 10%. A future annual growth rate of about 5% is predicted. Despite the fact that acrylic plastics are one of the oldest plastic materials in use today, they still hold the same advantages of optical clarity and resistance to the outdoor environment that make them the material of choice for many applications.

With so many options for clear plastic on the market, it is no surprise that lots of people misunderstand the differences between the types. Each type is made in a different way using different materials, which results in many different price points. We've put together this resource page to help sort out some of the most frequently asked questions, like "is acrylic a plastic or a glass?" and "what is the difference between acrylic and plastic?". While acrylic is a plastic, not all plastic is acrylic. The term "acrylic" represents a family of petroleum-based thermoplastics made from the derivation of natural gas. Another common name for acrylic is "polyacrylate" which is one of the most common types. This material is made from Methyl Methacrylate (MMA), Poly Methyl Methacrylate, or a combination of both.

Although the composition is pretty much the same, acrylic has many brand names. Plexiglas was the original trademark name when the Rohm and Haas Company first introduced the product to a mass market, but many others have established their own brand names including Lucite by du Pont and Acrylite by Evonik Cyro LLC. Some other common brands are Perspex, Oroglass, Optix, and Altuglass.Injection molded acrylic is manufactured by injecting acrylic or polymethyl methacrylate material into a mold. This transparent thermoplastic makes a great alternative to glass, which is why it is commonly used to manufacture bakery bins, sunglasses, and display risers. Unlike polystyrene, injection molded acrylic table number plate can be made without the issues of hazing or coloration. Additionally the material is much stronger and has minimal relief markings when removed from the mold. Injection molding takes less labor than hand-crafting, which results in a lower cost.

The Toughest Plastics in Construction!

Did you know that the construction sector is the second highest user of plastic after packaging? You don’t really to expect to find plastic in your home or in the building where you work. Yet various types of plastics are being used in the construction industry, from PVC for pipes and conduit, to flute board for waterproofing barriers.

Plastics are used widely in the construction industry due to a range of benefits they provide, such as excellent strength to weight ratio, reduced costs, low maintenance, and corrosion resistance among others. The main areas of application for plastics are piping, cladding and profiles, insulation, seals and gaskets, and base for adhesives and sealants.

In the last years, recycled plastic materials have started to represent an increasing percentage of overall production of plastic for construction, helping to solve the global problem of the disposal of plastics.

Plastic Materials Used in Construction

A large variety of plastics are used in construction, with the most popular being the following:

Flute Board

Flute board, also known as fluted polypropylene. This product is a hollowed fluted plastic board made from polypropylene. One of its versions is print grade flute board, which is specifically developed to meet the needs of print and signage companies for various digital printing and laminating processes. Packing grade flute board, on the other hand, is used for surface protection, packaging, and concrete forming.

Advantages of flute board include:

- Fully recyclable;

- Lightweight material;

- Resistant to water, chemicals, and impact;

- Low price and durability;

- Easy to print on;

- Having improved UV resistance which makes it suitable for outdoor applications.

Flute board is used as floor protection on building sites, for reinforcing and insulating layers, for knockdown boxes, and for point-of-sale displays.

Corrugated Flute Board

Corrugated flute board is actually called twin wall polypropylene sheeting. This type of material can be cut to size to obtain products that are both strong and durable.

Main benefits of corrugated flute board are:

- Non-toxic;

- High impact resistant;

- Hygienic;

- Water resistant;

- Chemical resistant;

- Weatherproof;

- 100% recyclable.

Typical applications for corrugated flute board include: signage, display stands, packaging, surfaces, and protection.

Acrylic Cut-to-Size

Acrylic sheet cut-to-size represents a large part of the market share in the construction industry. Acrylic is known under various different brand names and is found in multiple forms, such as clear Perspex sheet cut to size. It is a versatile, transparent thermoplastic, with excellent optical properties and resilience to impact and scratch. Unlike glass, it conducts light better and shatters into large, dull parts in case of large impact.

Properties that make acrylic sheet cut to size the perfect option for applications such as roofing and greenhouse construction are:

- Flexibility and elongation;

- Carbonation resistance;

- Environmental friendliness;

- Stability to ultraviolet radiation;

- Excellent adhesion.

Composites

A composite material is a one which is composed of two or more different materials. Joining these materials together produces a unique finished product that boasts different material properties to those that each material began with.

Advantages of plastic composite materials such as Kevlar, PVC polyester, FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer) and other such materials are:

- Improved resistance and durability;

- Can be made fire resistant;

- Low maintenance;

- Lightweight composition;

- Availability in different colours, textures, and shapes.

One of the latest trends in the construction sector is represented by biocomposites, an important part of the green building movement. They enable the construction of green buildings, which are environmentally friendly, healthy to live and work in, and economically viable.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate or PC is an amorphous thermoplastic which is naturally transparent. Main reasons why polycarbonate is being used in construction include:

- Flexibility

PC can be formed into multiple shapes and structures.

- Withstanding shock and fracture

Polycarbonate sheets have a higher impact resistance compared to glass. This makes PC easier to transport and install. It does not become brittle with age, enabling constructors to avoid high maintenance and repair costs.

- Two times lighter than glass

Polycarbonate lowers construction costs as it weighs less than glass, reducing the size of foundations and structural members.

- Excellent insulating properties

Polycarbonate is a popular choice for cladding and roofing, with multiwall PC sheets doing even a better job at improving thermal performance as it creates additional air pockets around buildings.

- Light transmittance

Forget about yellowing and hazed plastic, which happens with GRP. PC sheeting is treated with UV protection to extend its life and reduce glare.

PVC

PVC (abbreviation for polyvinyl chloride) accounts for approximately 20% of all plastic manufactured around the world.

There are two main types of PVC: rigid and flexible. Rigid PVC is intrinsic flame retardant offers good electrical insulation and vapor barrier properties, but becomes brittle at 5°C (when not modified with impact modifiers and/or processing aids). Flexible PVC is easier to process than rigid PVC and has good resistance to corrosive inorganic chemicals. Disadvantages include that it tends to degrade at high temperatures and its properties can change in time because of plasticiser migration.

PVC applications include: window and door profiles, pipes, fittings, wiring and cables, internal and external cladding, ducting, flooring, roofing membranes, and wall coverings.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene is a synthetic textile material originally developed by the American corporation Phillips Petroleum in 1951.

Its properties include:

- Chemically inert;

- Mould resistant;

- Heat resistant;

- Accepting colour and dye without degrading;

- Inexpensive;

- Does not contain bisphenol A.

This material is used in a variety of plastic building materials products that need to withstand heat, fatigue, and shatter, such as carpeting, piping systems, electrical cable insulation, and plastic machine parts.

Polyethylene

Polyethylene is most commonly used in packaging due to properties such as:

- High ductility;

- Low friction;

- Good electrical insulator.

Its two main disadvantages, however, are being no-biodegradable and having a low melting point (around 80 °C).

Common applications of polyethylene in construction include:

- Protection for materials and sealants;

- Damp-proof membranes;

- Lining material for foundations;

- Concrete protection during the curing process;

- Temporary flashing material for door and windows.

Expanded Polystyrene

Expanded polystyrene or ESP foam is a lightweight, closed cell insulation providing the following benefits:

- Resistance to heat flow;

- Energy efficiency;

- Strength;

- Sustainability;

- Hygienic as it does not encourage the growth of bacteria;

- Low cost;

- Being environmentally friendly as it has always been CFC- and HCFC-free.

In the construction industry, expanded polystyrene is mainly used for exterior insulation and finish due to its high energy efficiency. It is also a part of structural insulated panels that can be used to build exterior walls, roofs, ceilings, and floors.

ETFE

ETFE stands for ethylenetetrafluoroethylene and consists of the modified copolymers of ethylene and tetrafluroethylene. It has the appearance of a flexible film, which makes it suitable for curved transparent facades.

Properties of ETFE include:

- Nor degrading under UV light;

- Resistant to weather and pollution;

- Being self-cleaning;

- East to repair by fixing tears with welding replacement patches;

- 100% recyclable;

- Its manufacturing process does not require the use of solvents.

U.S. Polymethyl Methacrylate Film And Sheet Market - Flexibility To The Max!

PMMA (poly (methyl methacrylate)), commonly known as acrylic, is a transparent thermoplastic that is generally used as a lightweight-shatter-resistant glass alternative. PMMA has various other names such as acrylic glass and plexiglass, and is sold under various brand names such as Plexiglas, Lucite, Perclax, Crylux, Acrylite and Perspex. The material is formed through the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer. Besides being a glass-alternative, it can also be used as a casting resin, or in coatings and inks.

The material was developed in 1928 by various chemists like William Chalmers, Otto Röhm, and Walter Bauer, and was first introduced in the market under the Plexiglas trademark in 1933, by the German ‘Röhm & Haas AG’, along with its partner and U.S. affiliate ‘Rohm and Haas Company’. The most common method of production is mass polymerization, wherein extruded sheets are often manufactured from polymerized pellets. The original discovery of this process was made by German chemists Fittig and Paul in 1877. However, it was not until 1936 that the process was further refined to produce acrylic safety glass for commercial applications.

Innovations such as anti-algae coatings, non-yellowing sheets that offer high protection against UV and rain, and unusual design flexibility offered for construction applications have also contributed to industry growth in recent years. Among all the thermoplastics, this particular plastic possesses the highest surface hardness and is different from conventional plastics owing to its unique properties such as high transparency, UV resistance, high durability and recyclability.

Properties & Manufacturing

PMMA is completely recyclable as it can be broken down into its constituent parts by using the special thermal process. The product is heated to around 400 degrees Celsius to obtain the staring material methyl methacrylate (MMA). On distillation of the liquid MMA to over 99% purity we get the original material back which can be used again as a starting material. It is an economical alternative for polycarbonate, in matters of flexural strength, tensile strength, UV tolerance and transparency. Another advantage over polycarbonate is that PMMA does not contain bisphenol-A subunits, which are potentially harmful.

There are two kinds of PMMA film processing methods: solvent casting method and the extrusion method, with the latter being further divided into two categories: a T-die extrusion method and a tubular film method. The T-die method involves the process of solidification (a film surface is altered from molten to solid state with the help of a cooling roller). This process is more popular as it results in superior surface smoothness and thickness controllability.

The properties of PMMA can be modified through the addition of comonomers, fillers and additives. Comonomers such as butyl acrylate and methacrylic acid are added to improve impact strength and increase glass transition temperature respectively. Plasticizers can be added to lower the glass transition temperature, or improve processing and impact properties. Dyes can be added in order to impart color for decorative purposes, or as a filter against UV light, while fillers are added to improve affordability.

In-depth report on U.S. polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) film and sheet market by Grand View Research:

https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/us-polymethyl-methacrylate-pmma-film-sheet-market

A True Multitasker!

PMMA finds a very wide usage in a number of applications such as signs and displays, rear-light for vehicles, glass lenses, as well as shatter resistant panels for windows in buildings, bulletproof security barriers, and sanitary-ware, among others. Methacrylate polymers have found extensive usage in dental and medical applications, as these processes require high purity and stability. PMMA is extensively used for constructing aquariums, as well as in exterior automobile lights. Riot control vehicles often replace the regular glass with PMMA in order to shield inmates from thrown objects. The product, under the name ‘Lucite’, was used for the ceiling of the Houston Astrodome.

PMMA films and sheets are widely used in the construction sector, as their usage protects the facades from ultraviolet rays, and help in offering weather protection and thermal insulation. Another advantage is that it requires very low maintenance. The product is utilized in designing submarine periscopes and windshields of aircrafts. An important application area of PMMA films and sheets is in digital signage and displays, with the United States being one of the biggest global advertising markets, which makes it a perfect region for market players to compete in.

The regional U.S. Polymethyl Methacrylate Film And Sheet Market has seen appreciable growth in recent years, which can be attributed to the following factors:

· The automotive and advertising sectors have seen growth in the popularity of bio-based PMMA, on account of the low toxicity of PMMA and its high biodegradability.

· There has been heavy spending in the construction sector in the United States, as there has been further improvement in the living standards owing to decreasing unemployment. This again has contributed to the demand growth for the product.

· Another area where PMMA films and sheets have found heavy usage is defense and aerospace, and with the U.S. being a heavy spender in these areas, the product is expected to witness high demand.

· PMMA sheets and films offer high design flexibility and scratch resistance, and this is again conducive to its growth in the region, with the U.S. being a leading vehicle manufacturing region.

What’s Up, Competitors?

The major market players include Evonik Industries, Arkema Group, Lucite International, Unigel Group, Plazit-Polygal Group, PolyOne Corporation, SABIC and Plaskolite. Some of the developments that the industry has seen by these competitors include:

· In November 2019, Lucite International attended the Sign China 2019 event, where it displayed acrylic sheets such as the continuous cast acrylic sheet from Mitsubishi Chemical Polymer Nantong Co. Ltd., specially-processed acrylic sheet from Taiwan Feng Shin Industrial Co. Ltd., and the ‘special effect’ acrylic sheet from MCC.

· In October 2019, Arkema sold its functional polyolefins business, which was a part of the company’s PMMA Business Unit, to SK Global Chemical. This divestment mirrors Arkema’s shifting portfolio towards advanced materials and specialty chemicals.

· In August 2019, Evonik International sold its methyl methacrylates (MMA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) business under the name ‘Röhm GmbH’, to the U.S. firm Advent International. Röhm’s Plexiglas-branded PMMA’s find use in airplane windows, cars, screens and displays, as well as building glazing.
