PMMA

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) molding — also known as plexiglass or acrylic — is the perfect solution for producing transparent, durable and visually flawless plastic components. PMMA is a thermoplastic material widely used for its exceptional transparency, glossy surface and excellent resistance to weathering and UV exposure.

Companies like Expyou, specialized in injection molding, transform PMMA into high-quality technical and aesthetic components, crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

Characteristics of PMMA in injection molding

PMMA stands out for its exceptional transparency (up to 92% light transmission), comparable to glass but with much lower weight and greater impact resistance than other transparent materials.

Its main properties include:

• Excellent optical performance, ideal for light diffusers, lenses and visual components
• Glossy, smooth surface, easy to customize with decorative finishes
• Good dimensional stability, even under thermal variations
• UV and weather resistance, suitable for outdoor environments
• Ease of processing, achieving excellent results even on complex geometries

It is available in several variants — clear, colored or satin-finished — to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

How does PMMA molding work?

PMMA molding is carried out through a carefully controlled injection process. The granules are dried, melted and injected into a high-precision mold. After cooling, the part is ejected and can undergo additional processes such as polishing, screen printing or assembly.

Given the rigid and brittle nature of PMMA in its solid state, the process must be precisely managed to avoid internal stress or microcracks. Expyou employs next-generation presses and digital control systems to ensure a flawless outcome — both technically and visually.

Key advantages

PMMA molding offers a range of benefits that make it ideal for products where aesthetics are as important as functionality:

• Crystal-clear transparency, perfect for visible components, lighting covers and premium design elements
• High-quality finish, with smooth surfaces ready for painting, engraving or printing
• Weather and UV resistance, ideal for outdoor or demanding environments
• Lightweight and safe, lighter and shatterproof compared to glass
• Aesthetic customization, available in a wide range of colors, effects and finishes
