Reaction PMMA powder makes mixture viscous for manipulation before curing. Chemical accelerators cause decomposition of benzoyl peroxide into free radicals that initiate polymerization of monomer New PMMA is formed into a matrix that surrounds PMMA powder. Linear shrinkage of 5% to 7% during setting. but dimensions of appliances are not critical…
