PMMA artificial stone
what is PMMA artificial stone?
PMMA Artificial Stone, also known as PMMA solid surface or acrylic stone, is a type of synthetic material used in various industries, including the production of bathroom products such as shower trays, countertops, bathtubs, and sinks. PMMA stands for Polymethyl Methacrylate, which is a type of acrylic polymer. When combined with other minerals, pigments, and resins, it forms a durable, non-porous, and visually appealing surface material.

Key Characteristics of PMMA Artificial Stone
Characters:
Know as | PMMA Artificial Stone; Pure Acrylic Solid Surface; *Dupont Corian®(the same material) |
Main ingredients | 40% PMMA + 60% Aluminite Power(ATH)–Chemical Formula: Al(OH)3 |
Color Options | Note: 1. Pure artificial stone doesn’t contain unsaturated polyester resin at al 2. l2. PMMA and MMA come from Korea LG™ and Germany Degussa |
Surface Luster | Pure White |
Thermal Distortion Temperature | Matte, Glossy |
Barcol Hardness | 100℃ 212F 55-65Hba |
Flame Retardation | Flame-retardant Note: Pure acrylic and composite acrylic artificial stone are flame-retardant because water (H20) can be released from Al(OH)3 when in fire. |
Anti-yellowness | 10-15 years 1. lts anti-yellowness property varies with the materials and grades of resin materials. (PMMA pure acrylic is also a kind of resin). lt is also subject to the influence of the natures of filling materials(aluminite powder, calcium powder, etc,), The higher the chemical stability of the ingredients in the material, the more difficult for it to turn yellow.PMMA pure acrylic boasts of perfect chemical stability and physical properties as the main ingredient of organic glass. 2. UV rays can accelerate the aging of resin. Only pure acrylic products can adapt to the outdoor environment. |
Stain-resistance | Matte Surface – Good; Bright Surface – Excellent. |
Surface Anti-scratch Ability | Matte Surface – Very Good; Bright Surface – Satisfactory. |
Polishing and Repairing Condition after Usage | Matte Surface – Repairable and applicable to frequent polishing Bright Surface – Repairable but hard to polish by the users. Whether polishing can be done again or not is decided by 2 factors: 1. Whether the surface material and internal material of the artificial stone are the same or not2. The matte surface won’t leave any evident mark after rough polishing, while the bright surface wil leave some visible marks after rough polishing. The users can polish the products again on their own (with sandpaper, from coarseness to fineness, in progressive method), but with higher difficulty. |
