Styrene Methyl Methacrylate (SMMA) Market: Overview
Styrene methyl methacrylate (SMMA) is a transparent styrene acrylic copolymer, which is formed by blending styrene monomer (SM) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). It is a transparent compound with exceptional properties. The usage of MMA in the compound provides overall hardness, clarity, and resistance to extreme weather conditions, SM offers the compound scratch-resistance. Styrene Methyl Methacrylate is also known as MS resin and is employed as an affordable alternative to different resins, which are comparatively expensive.
