What are the raw materials used for making acrylic?

Acrylic is primarily made from the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), which is derived from petrochemical feedstocks. Other raw materials may include various additives such as stabilizers, colorants, and modifiers to enhance properties like UV resistance and impact strength. The production process typically involves the use of catalysts to initiate the polymerization reaction, resulting in the formation of acrylic sheets or products.
