Laboratory analysis of polymethacrylates (PMMA)

Use of polymethacrylates (PMMA) in industry

Polymethacrylates are transparent and resistant thermoplastics whose monomer is methyl methacrylate (MMA). 

Known as Plexiglas (registered trademark), polymethacrylate is used in the industry for the production of advertising signs, glass, prostheses and implants, optical fibers, battery kit … 

FILAB studies the chemical and thermal properties of PPMA

Thanks to a dedicated polymer analysis laboratory, the FILAB laboratory assists industrialists in the study of the chemical, thermal and physical properties of polymethacrylate (PMMA) based materials: 

  • Deformation and study of the chemical composition of PMMA
  • Study of the thermal properties of PMMA
  • Expertise following a problem: degradation, color change, odor, adhesion …
  • Study of compatibility between PPMA and a fluid
