Cab window made of stretched acrylic glass

Whether huge commercial airplanes or small gliders, the highest requirements are placed on glazing materials in aircraft construction. They have to withstand extreme temperature changes, protect against UV radiation, be weather-resistant and robust – and they have to weigh as little as possible. Acrylic glass for aviation, based on MERACRYL® MMA helps to be able to meet these requirements in the future as well.

A special type of acrylic glass is often used for the windows of airplanes and helicopters. This involves panels that have been stretched in an elaborate and highly complex procedure. The advantage of stretched PMMA panels is that they have better impact strength and increase chemical resistance.
