This sponsored film presents plexiglass as a versatile engineering plastic, contrasting it with ordinary glass. It explains properties including light weight, impact strength, weather and chemical resistance, optical clarity, flexibility, and shatter resistance. Demonstrations of molding and “plastic memory” lead to applications in aviation, science, industry, transportation, and household products.
