Description

The process described refers to the production of PMMA, commonly known as acrylic glass or plexiglass, which is utilized in applications requiring transparency and high resistance to breakage. Examples include the manufacturing of windows, lenses, and shields in various industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics. When utilizing this data for Life Cycle Assessment, ensure that the specific energy consumption and emissions related to the two-stage condensation process are accurately accounted for. Consider the final product's entire lifecycle, and if PMMA recycling is applicable, include necessary considerations for post-consumer waste management and recycling efficiencies.
