acrylic compound

acrylic compound
Any of a class of synthetic plastics, resins, and oils used to manufacture many products.

By varying the starting reagents (such as acrylic acid, C3H4O2, or acrylonitrile, C3H3N) and the process of forming, a material may be produced that is hard and transparent, soft and resilient, or a viscous liquid. Acrylic compounds are used to make molded structural and optical parts, jewelry, adhesives, coating compounds, and textile fibres. Lucite and Plexiglas are trademarks used for glasslike acrylic materials.
