PMMA [PolyMlmethyl Methacrylate]
What is PMMA?
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a transparent, durable, and lightweight plastic used as a glass substitute in products like windows and signs.
History
This material was discovered in the 1930s by English and German chemists and is known under trade names such as Perspex and Plexiglass.
Production and the Role of Baniar Polymer
PMMA is produced through the polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Baniar Polymer, as one of the leading manufacturers in Iran, plays a significant role in supplying this material to domestic and international industries, establishing a major share in the market with its high-quality products.
Properties
- Lightweight and durable
- High transparency and impact resistance
- Environmental stability and good chemical resistance
Global Market and Trade
The global PMMA market involves major exports from South Korea and imports into China. Baniar Polymer, with its production capabilities, aims to meet the needs of both domestic and regional markets.
Applications
- Glass Substitute: Used in aquariums, airplane windows, and vehicle headlights.
- Light Guidance: For distributing natural light in indoor spaces.
- Medical Applications: In optical lenses and bone implants.
- Artistic Uses: In jewelry making and aesthetic display boards.
Challenges
Price fluctuations in crude oil and raw material supply constraints are among the challenges in this market.
