Key Data Set Information
Location JX-CN
Name
Plexiglass ; PMMA: Polymethyl Methacrylate (also known as Acrylic or Plexiglass) ; sorting process
Use advice for data set Users should note that the data set specifically pertains to the production of PMMA monomers including a manual sorting process, which may not be representative of all glass production methods. When using these data in a Life Cycle Assessment, users must consider the methodological compatibility, especially if comparing with datasets for other types of glass or if recycling processes are considered. Exclusion or inclusion of subsequent stages, such as polymerization and end-of-life treatment, must be clearly defined in the scope of the study.
Technical purpose of product or process The data set describes the process of glass production which includes the manufacture of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) monomers, used extensively as a shatter-resistant alternative to glass. The process encompasses the sorting operation, which is critical to ensuring the purity and quality of the PMMA produced. This PMMA is commonly utilized in applications such as construction materials, automotive parts, and optical devices due to its clarity, strength, and resistance to impact.
