Why should you use our PMMA acrylic adhesives?
PMMA stands for Poly(methyl methacrylate) but is also known as acrylic, or acrylic glass. PMMA is a versatile thermoplastic material that has many uses within many industries. Acrylic cement glues are commonly employed for bonding PMMA due to their effectiveness in creating strong and durable connections.

From mirror acrylic to cast acrylic, our excellent range of PMMA acrylic cement glues is tailored to meet all sheet bonding requirements.
What are PMMA acrylic adhesives often used for?
Sign bonding within the Sign Making industry
Signs often need to be weather-proof so they’re not affected by extreme weather conditions such as sun, snow and high winds. The use of strong PMMA acrylic cement glues can ensure that signs are strong and secure.
Point of Purchase (POP) industry
From displays to branded boxes, PMMA acrylic is often used within the retail industry, and also requires a strong adhesive to hold all elements together safely which compliments some of the most creative design work.
