Plexiglass ; PMMA: Polymethyl Methacrylate (also known as Acrylic or Plexiglass) ;Coarse monomer tank
Use advice for data set Data users should note that the LCA data specifically pertains to the production phase of MMA and its interim storage in a rough monomer tank prior to further processing. When applying this data to assess the environmental impact in a product's lifecycle, ensure that the data is used in the correct context of PMMA production. Use phase behavior, end-of-life options such as recycling and disposal, and the transportation of the MMA should be considered additionally according to specific product requirements and regional regulations. Exclude the impacts of subsequent processing unless the LCA scope explicitly includes them.
Technical purpose of product or process The process data represent the production of the PMMA monomer, MMA (methyl methacrylate), which is stored in a rough monomer tank. PMMA, also known as acrylic or plexiglass, is utilized extensively in manufacturing a variety of products such as transparent barriers, signs, aircraft canopies, and light fixtures. Additionally, MMA is a precursor in making casting and extrusion sheets, resins for coatings, and emulsion polymers.
