exists and is an alternate of . Noncrystalline thermoplastic that can come in many colours, weather and shatter resistant. Acrylic plastic refers to a family of synthetic, or man-made, plastic materials containing one or more derivatives of acrylic acid. The most common acrylic plastic is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is sold under the brand names of Plexiglas, Lucite, Perspex, and Crystallite.
Each kind of plastic has a different raw material; generally it's  fairly obvious from the name of the plastic (for example: the raw  material for poly (vinyl chloride) is v â¦ inyl chloride, IUPAC name  chloroethene).   A lot of them are ultimately based on petroleum (crude oil)  derivatives.ach kind of plastic has a different raw material; generally it's  fairly obvious from the name of the plastic (for example: the raw  material for poly (vinyl chloride) is v â¦ inyl chloride, IUPAC name  chloroethene).
