A: Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, mainly need to consider the usage and environment, the following is a comparison table between acrylic and PC for your reference:
| ITEM | PMMA (Acrylic) | PC (Polycarbonate) |
| Proportion | 1.19 | 1.2 |
| Impact resistance | Fragile | 30 times stronger than acrylic |
| Transmittance | 92% | 88% |
| Processing temperature | Under 80°C | Under 120°C |
| Water absorption | 0.3~0.4% | 0.1~0.2% |
| Under prolonged UV light exposure | Not easy to yellow |
easy to yellow, Need to add UV absorber layer |
| Flame retardant degree | Low (UL 94 level HB) | High (UL 94 level V0) |
| Selling cost | Ordinary | More Expensive |
Q: What are the advantages of acrylic PMMA?
Transmittance(ASTM D1003)

Rockwell hardness (ASTM D785)

Heat distortion temperature (ASTM
D648)

Bending strength (ASTM
D790)

Weatherability - the extent to which the color changes with exposure time

The extent to which the flexural strength of PMMA varies with exposure time
