PLEXIGLAS® makes even red lights green.

PLEXIGLAS® has the ability to take on any color – while also remaining green. At its basic structure, PLEXIGLAS® contains no halogens, no aromatic compounds, and no plasticizers. It is nontoxic, noncarcinogenic, and nonmutagenic. Best of all, at the end of its life, it is fully recyclable. PLEXIGLAS® is the material of choice for your green products.

For PLEXIGLAS®, reincarnation is old hat. We call it “recycling.”

We believe in reincarnation. The reincarnation of PLEXIGLAS®, at least. Because PLEXIGLAS® is so pure that it can be broken down into its basic components again to be reborn as new PLEXIGLAS®. Few plastics can achieve a rebirth of this kind – this is not downcycling, but true recycling in the interests of a circular economy!

The universe created the sun. All other lights can be created with PLEXIGLAS®.

The great thing about PLEXIGLAS® is that it is always in impressive shape – to be specific, in precisely the shape you require. That’s because our high-performance plastic can be individually formed, making it possible to create entirely new lighting concepts. PLEXIGLAS® also outshines conventional materials in terms of transparency and durability.

The surprising disadvantage of PLEXIGLAS® surfaces: they turn household appliances into real masterpieces.

Domestic appliances with surfaces made from our high-quality PLEXIGLAS® steal the show from everything else in the house. The completely colorless polymers can be colored and molded in almost any number of ways, opening up entirely new possibilities for designers. And since PLEXIGLAS® is also particularly robust, the appliances retain their good looks.

Almost too beautiful just for the road – lighting design with PLEXIGLAS®

What does PLEXIGLAS® have to do with car design? For over 60 years, PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds have been a driving force behind the auto industry. Why? Because the multifaceted ways in which PLEXIGLAS® can be formed open up virtually endless possibilities for design. One shining example is crystal-clear or colored PLEXIGLAS® whose top light-guiding properties and color stability make for innovative automotive lighting systems.

Light makes the atmosphere. And PLEXIGLAS® makes the light.

Light not only attracts insects and other animals, but also customers. That’s because PLEXIGLAS® can be molded in almost any number of ways, opening up entirely new possibilities for product design. Yet using PLEXIGLAS® also pays off for other reasons: it transmits light very efficiently and is particularly long-lasting and UV-stable.
