Definition:
Polymers of acrylic or methacrylic esters, sometimes modified with nonacrylic monomers such as the ABS group. The acrylates may be methyl, ethyl, butyl or 2-ethylhexyl. Usual methacrylates are methyl, ethyl, butyl, laural and stearyl. The resins may be in the form of molding powders or casting syrups, and are noted for their exceptional clarity and optical properties. Acrylics are widely used in lighting fixtures because they are slow burning or may be made self-extinguishing, and do not produce harmful smoke or gases in the presence of flame.
