The "acrylic" actually applies to several resins that are derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or other related compounds. For example:

Poly(methyl methacrylate) is a thermoplastic often used in place of glass - sometimes for its light weight and sometimes for its shatter resistance.

Poly(methyl acrylate) is a white rubber at room temperature.

By contrast acrylamide and acrylonitrile acrylics tend to be thermosetting.

Acrylic is a thermoplastic. Thermoplastics can be repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling.
