Is water denser than perspex?

How is Perspex manufactured?
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or poly(methyl 2-methylpropenoate) is a thermoplastic and transparent plastic. Chemically, it is the synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate. It is sold by the tradenames Plexiglas, Limacryl, R-Cast, Perspex, Plazcryl, Acrylex, Acrylite, Acrylplast, Altuglas, Polycast, Oroglass and Lucite and is commonly called acrylic glass or simply acrylic. Acrylic, or acrylic fiber, can also refer to polymers or copolymers containing polyacrylonitrile. The material was developed in 1928 in various laboratories and was brought to market in 1933 by Rohm and Haas Company. PMMA is often used as an alternative to glass, and in competition with polycarbonate (PC). It is often preferred because of its moderate properties, easy handling and processing, and low cost, but behaves in a brittle manner when loaded, especially under an impact force. To produce 1 kg of PMMA, about 2 kg of petroleum is needed. In the presence of oxygen
Why is glass a better serving dish than china?

Does a window have to have glass in it to be called a window?

How to use the word 'Perspex' in a sentence?
Perspex is a compound (scientifically known as Poly(methyl methacrylate or PMMA). It is a clear, solid material like glass, except it is shatter-proof. It is also known as "Plexiglass". A sentence could use the word as follows: "Many large sheets of Perspex were used to construct the safety glass for the hockey rink, due to its strength and clarity."
What is an example of the different materials that causes light to absorb reflect or transmit?

What are facts about perspex?
perspex is a plastic
What materials are used to make security cameras?
Metal and plastic are used to make cameras along with glass/perspex reflectors.
Is perspex flexible?
Perspex behaves in a brittle manner when loaded, especially under an impact force, and is more prone to scratching compared to conventional inorganic glass. The only way to bend it safely is to heat it and bend around a form.
