PMMA ACRYLIC RODS

Product Description

PMMA Acrylic Rods are solid cylindrical bars manufactured from PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate). They are well known for their crystal-clear transparency, excellent surface finish, weather resistance, and ease of machining. PMMA Acrylic rods are widely used as a lightweight, shatter-resistant alternative to glass and metals in industrial, commercial, decorative, and engineering applications.

Key Features & Benefits

Excellent Optical Clarity – Up to 92–93% light transmission
Lightweight – About 50% lighter than glass
High Surface Finish – Glossy, polished appearance
Good Impact Resistance – Stronger than glass
UV & Weather Resistant – Suitable for indoor & outdoor use
Easy to Machine & Fabricate – Can be cut, drilled, turned, polished, and bonded
Electrical Insulating Properties – Good dielectric strength
Non-Toxic & Odorless – Safe for general use
