acrylic
A type of plastic, one of a group of synthetic, short-chain unsaturated carboxylic acids derivatives. Variation in the reagents and the method of formation yields either hard and transparent, soft and resilient, or liquid products. Their transparency, toughness, and dimensionality stability make acrylics useful for molded structural parts, lenses, adhesives, and paints.
