2. Poly(methyl methacrylate) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)

   The type of acrylic used in tanning beds is most often formulated from a special type of polymethyl methacrylate, a compound that allows the passage of ultraviolet rays. Sheets of PMMA are commonly used in the sign industry to make flat cut out letters in thicknesses typically varying from 3 to 25 millimeters (0.1 to 1.0 in).

3. Acrylic resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_resin

   An acrylic resin is a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substance typically derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and acrylate monomers such as butyl acrylate and methacrylate monomers such as methyl methacrylate. Thermoplastic acrylics designate a group of acrylic resins typically containing both a high molecular weight and a high ...

4. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylate_polymer

   Acrylic elastomer is a general term for a type of synthetic rubber whose primary component is acrylic acid alkyl ester (ethyl or butyl ester). [3] Acrylic elastomer possesses characteristics of heat and oil resistance, with the ability to withstand temperatures of 170–180 °C. It is used primarily for producing oil seals and packaging related ...

5. Methyl methacrylate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_methacrylate

   The principal application, consuming approximately 75% of the MMA, is the manufacture of polymethyl methacrylate acrylic plastics . Methyl methacrylate is also used for the production of the co-polymer methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS), used as a modifier for PVC .

6. Acrylic fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_fiber

   Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of ~100,000, about 1900 monomer units. For a fiber to be called "acrylic" in the US, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonitrile monomer .

7. Polyacrylonitrile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylonitrile

   Comonomers include acrylic acid, acrylamide, allyl compounds, and sulfonated styrene. [2] Anionic polymerization also can be used for synthesizing PAN. For textile applications, molecular weight in the range of 40,000 to 70,000 is used. [citation needed] For producing carbon fiber higher molecular weight is desired. [15]
