Polimetilmetacrilato
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a transparent, thermoplastic material that combines aesthetics, stability and versatility. Whether in mechanical engineering, architecture or design - it is hard to imagine modern applications without this acrylic glass.
A little material history at the end
The plastic PMMA is better known in everyday life under the brand name Plexiglas. Inventor Otto Röhm marketed the transparent plastic under this name in 1933, but PMMA is also known as acrylic glass due to its excellent optical properties. Later, in 1956, the Braun company used acrylic glass for the first time in the manufacture of a record player cover. The designer Dieter Rams made the Phonosuper SK 4 model famous. Thanks to its transparent acrylic cover, the elongated radio-record player combination was later popularly known as "Snow White's coffin".
