Key Data Set Information
Location JX-CN
Name
Plexiglass ;PMMA: Polymethyl Methacrylate (also known as Acrylic or Plexiglass) ; dry crushing
Use advice for data set When utilizing this dataset for life cycle assessment studies, users should consider the specific regional context of the production process, the efficiency of the dry crushing method, and energy consumption. It is important to account for potential emissions during the production phase and to verify that the PMMA quality matches the intended application. Users should be aware that the end-of-life phase may include potential recycling or waste treatment scenarios, which must be modeled separately according to localized environmental management policies.
Technical purpose of product or process The dataset represents the production of PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), commonly known as acrylic or acrylic glass, which includes the dry crushing process. PMMA is widely used in applications requiring transparency and durability, such as in automotive windows, aquariums, architectural features, and protective barriers.
