Standard Classification System for Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) (PMMA) Molding and Extrusion Compounds
STANDARD published on 1.9.2016
Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
Save Time and Trouble!
With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
Price
When you select the "Active + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of an Active + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

The purpose of this classification system is to provide a method of adequately identifying poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) molding and extrusion compounds. These compounds are polymers based on methyl methacrylate, and at least 70 % of the polymer shall be polymerized from methyl methacrylate. Poly(methyl methacrylate) molding and extrusion compounds are classified into groups in accordance with their composition. These groups are subdivided into classes and grades: class 1, 2, 3, and 4; grade 1 - materials used where special ultraviolet transmission, filtering, or stabilization characteristics are not required, grade 2 - materials used for those specialized applications in which the greatest amount of transmission of UV light is required, and grade 3 - materials (transparent UV stabilized or transparent UV absorbing) used when either special resistance to slight color change over long exposure times or high-intensity UV radiation is required, or when the material is required to filter out ultraviolet light. The plastics composition shall be uniform and shall conform to the requirements specified.
