An acrylic resin based on methyl methacrylate. It has become generally
known under the trade name Plexiglas®. On the one hand, PMMAGlossaryPMMA Polymethylmethacrylate is
approx. 60 times more elastic than window glass but on the other hand
it is approx. 10 times more permeable than silicate glass. Of course, the
hardness of its surface does not correspond to that of glass but compared
with other materials it can easily be polished to high brilliance. As to
weight, Polymethylmethacrylate is much more lightweight than normal
window glass.
Also known under the tradename Plexiglas® of Evonik Röhm GmbH
Synthetic, thermoplastic material; Break proof and impact resistant; Very good surface, shiny; Good resistance to dilute acids and alkali, limited resistance to organic solvents; Flammable properties similar to hardwood; Very low production of smoke if burnt; Gases emitted when burning are neither toxic nor corrosive; Usable up to approx. +70°C
Synthetic, thermoplastic material; break-proof to impact resistant; very good surface, shiny; good resistance against diluted acids and alkali, limited resistance against organic solvents; flammable like hard wood; very low production of smoke; fire gases not toxic and not corrosive; usable up to approx +70 °C
PC-ESC is made of transparent, two side coated permanent static dissipative material. The dissipative property reduces particle attraction and the generation of electrostatic fields. Complies with EN 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999
Electrical properties:
Surface resistance Rs 105–107 Ω (EN 61340-2-3)
Point to point resistance Rp 104–106 Ω (EN 61340-2-3)
Resistance to ground Rg 104–106 Ω (EN 61340-2-3)
