organic glass

Organic glass, also known in technical jargon as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a fascinating material that is widely used in various applications. It takes its name from its glass-like transparency and strength, which make it a popular alternative to conventional glass. PMMA is often used in industry, medicine, construction and art.

The term "organic glass" refers to its organic nature, as it consists of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules, in contrast to inorganic materials such as silicon dioxide, which is found in conventional glass. This organic composition allows PMMA to be shaped and machined more easily, which increases its versatility in manufacturing and application.
