PMMA: more transparent than glass

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a widely used transparent plastic, often known in the market as acrylic glass or Plexiglas. It is an extremely clear thermoplastic used in a wide variety of applications. High-quality PMMA, with a light transmission of up to 92%, is even more transparent than glass!

Using PMMA injection moulding, De Beer Plastics manufactures, among other things, lenses for street lamps and sports lighting, where transparency and light output are extremely important criteria.

PMMA lenses

Every year, we manufacture millions of PMMA lenses for high-quality lighting applications. These include professional outdoor lighting, such as street lighting and stadium lighting, as well as indoor lighting, such as linear lighting in large industrial halls.

Precision in dimensions and perfection in light guidance are the key criteria for high-quality lenses. This ensures optimum light output, and greater light output means lower power consumption and, consequently, a more sustainable product.

Applications of PMMA in injection moulding

• Lighting: lenses, light guides, diffusers

• Display technology

• Taxi signs

• Sensors and indicator lights
