| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this LCA data, users should ensure the inclusion of the energy required for the entire production process of MMA and its subsequent polymerization to PMMA. It is important to account for upstream impacts, such as raw material extraction and processing. For accuracy, consider the geographical location and technological specifics as they can significantly impact the environmental footprint. Exclude recycling processes unless the study specifically incorporates end-of-life scenarios. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The monomer MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) is predominantly utilized in the production of PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), commonly known as acrylic or acrylic glass. PMMA is extensively used in applications that require transparency and high strength, such as light fixtures, shatterproof alternative to glass, construction materials, automotive components, and various consumer goods. |
