Acrylic, also known as PMMA or Plexiglas, from the English acrylic (acrylic plastic), the chemical name for polymethyl methacrylate. Is an important plastic polymer material developed earlier, with good transparency,
Chemical stability and weather resistance, easy to dye, easy to process, beautiful appearance, widely used in construction, advertising, transport, medical, lighting, handicrafts and other fields.
Acrylic characteristics
1, acrylic has a high degree of transparency, visual clarity, can reach more than 92% light transmittance, ordinary glass transmittance is only about 85%, can reach the transparency of optical glass, even after dyeing also has the same good transparency, which increases the display of acrylic and aesthetic effect.
2, thanks to the special material properties, the strength of acrylic is more than ten times that of ordinary glass, and glass comparison can be used to describe it as strong, made of acrylic products will be very durable, transparent products are most afraid of is scratched, acrylic due to its high strength, so it is also one of the most wear-resistant transparent materials.
Acrylic custom signage has the following 9 advantages:
1. Visual effect: colour variety, gorgeous, strong visual impact;
2. weather resistance: long time does not fade, good quality acrylic sheet life of up to 8-10 years;
3. Durability: good protection of the built-in light source, extend the service life of the light source products;
4. Rationality: rational design, rain and moisture; if designed to open the structure, more convenient for daily maintenance;
5. Impact resistance: it is 200 times that of glass products.
200 times more than glass products, almost no risk of breakage;
6. Light transmittance: light transmittance up to 92%, excellent light transmission and soft light;
7. Flame resistance: non-spontaneous combustion and self-extinguishing;
8. Aesthetics: exquisite craftsmanship, mirror effect, no folds, no seams, all rivets can not be exposed;
9. Energy-saving: good light transmission performance, and accordingly reduce the light source, energy saving, power saving, reduce costs;
We produce glitter photo frames, quicksand keychains, transparent bottle openers, souvenir refrigerator stickers, bubble liquid timer and other crafts all use acrylic material. The products are very translucent and shiny, durable and environmentally friendly.
Of course, he also has the following disadvantages
1, the price is more expensive than glass and plastic, high cost.
2, low ignition point, easy to melt and burn, burning will release toxic fumes.
3, the surface hardness is low, easy to scratch, and need to be polished often.
