Are bumpers on cars made from acrylic?
That’s very unlikely, as acrylic plastic tends to be hard and brittle. Bumpers are more likely polypropylene or a similar resilient plastic. Acrylics are often used where hard, clear plastics are needed – the brand name ‘Perspex’ is one make of acrylic sheet. It’s used for various things from a glass alternative in some situations (including some spectacles) to the little ‘light pipes’ that that bring the light from LEDs through to the outside of various electronic gadgets. Acrylic and polystyrene are probably the two commonest plastics for making clear display widows for such as instruments, clocks, microwave ovens etc.
