| Use advice for data set | Users of this data set should pay special attention to the specific boundary conditions of the two-stage condensation process when applying it to life cycle assessments. Include all relevant energy and material inputs, and consider the potential end-of-life scenarios, such as recycling or energy recovery, which could affect the LCA results. The technological applicability and assumptions of the data set should align with the specific PMMA applications being assessed. Account for any transportation of intermediate or final products if applicable. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This data set pertains to the production of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as acrylic glass or plexiglass. The process involves a two-stage condensation reaction to synthesize PMMA monomers. The resulting PMMA is a transparent thermoplastic often used in applications requiring transparency and high impact resistance, such as in the manufacturing of window glass, lenses, and displays. |
