What is acrylic plastic?Acrylic (PMMA, polymethyl methacrylate) is a widely used amorphous thermoplastic polymer. It is best known by its trade names Lucite® and Plexiglas®.

Stress CrackingCertain combinations of chemical exposure and mechanical stress can also cause environmental stress cracking. Environmental stress cracking is not purely a result of chemical attack. A combination of three factors cause stress cracking: tensile stress, a stress cracking chemical and the inherent susceptibility of a thermoplastic to stress cracking. Stress cracking chemicals include detergents, surfactants, lubricants, oils, ultra-pure water and plating additives such as brighteners and wetting agents.
