Description:

The optical properties of polymer barriers used as machine covers and eye protection are extremely important for both vision quality and user safety. The article presents the influence of room-temperature liquid chemical substances on the transparency of poly(methyl methacrylate) shields. UV/VIS spectroscopy was used to assess the impact of liquid chemical substances on the polymer's permeability to visible, ultraviolet and infrared radiations. The tests showed that the contact of the poly(methyl methacrylate) sheath with liquid chemicals influences the transmittance of the PMMA surface to a limited extent, without thereby reducing the harmful effects of radiation on humans.
