Backlight units of screens are often made of high-purity polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and are therefore ideal for chemical recycling. In this process, the polymer (PMMA) is returned to the monomer (MMA) by heating, which can then be used as a raw material for polymerizing ACRYLITE® or other products such as reactive resins.
Products made from this have a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared with virgin material. This process clearly distinguishes PMMA from other materials where chemical recycling only produces precursors for monomer production, such as pyrolysis oils.

ACRYLITE® Optical HT
Domestic appliances with surfaces made from our high-quality ACRYLITE® steal the show from everything else in the house. The completely colorless polymers can be colored and molded in almost any number of ways, opening up entirely new possibilities for designers. And since ACRYLITE® is also particularly robust, the appliances retain their good looks.
Applications
Architectural & Household
What does ACRYLITE® have to do with car design? For over 60 years, ACRYLITE® molding compounds have been a driving force behind the auto industry. Why? Because the multifaceted ways in which ACRYLITE® can be formed open up virtually endless possibilities for design. One shining example is crystal-clear or colored ACRYLITE® whose top light-guiding properties and color stability make for innovative automotive lighting systems.

Light not only attracts insects and other animals, but also customers. That’s because ACRYLITE® can be molded in almost any number of ways, opening up entirely new possibilities for product design. Yet using ACRYLITE® also pays off for other reasons: it transmits light very efficiently and is particularly long-lasting and UV-stable.

The great thing about ACRYLITE® is that it is always in impressive shape – to be specific, in precisely the shape you require. That’s because our high-performance plastic can be individually formed, making it possible to create entirely new lighting concepts. ACRYLITE® also outshines conventional materials in terms of transparency and durability.
