Acrylic, also known as PMMA or plexiglass, is referred to in English as acrylic.
It is an important thermoplastic polymer material that was developed relatively early, characterized by good transparency, chemical stability, weather resistance, easy dyeing, ease of processing, and aesthetic appearance, making it widely used in the construction industry. Plexiglass products can typically be divided into cast sheets, extruded sheets, and molded plastic.
**Characteristics**
1. It has crystal-like transparency, with a light transmittance of over 92%, providing soft light and clear visuals. Dyed acrylic also has a good color display effect.
2. Acrylic sheets have good weather resistance, high surface hardness and gloss, as well as good high-temperature performance.
3. Acrylic sheets have excellent processing properties, allowing for both thermoforming and mechanical processing.
4. Transparent acrylic sheets have a light transmittance comparable to glass, but with only half the density. Furthermore, it is not as brittle as glass, and even when broken, it does not shatter into sharp fragments like glass.
5. The abrasion resistance of acrylic sheets is comparable to aluminum, with good stability and resistance to various chemical corrosion.
6. Acrylic sheets have good printability and sprayability. With appropriate printing and spraying techniques, acrylic products can achieve ideal surface decorative effects.
7. Flame resistance: It is not self-igniting but is classified as a flammable material and does not possess self-extinguishing properties.
**Types of Plexiglass (Acrylic) Sheets**
Common sheets include: transparent sheets, colored transparent sheets, milky sheets, colored sheets;
Specialty sheets include: bathroom sheets, cloud sheets, mirror sheets, fabric-laminated sheets, hollow sheets, impact-resistant sheets, flame-retardant sheets, ultra-wear-resistant sheets, surface-patterned sheets, frosted sheets, pearlescent sheets, metallic effect sheets, etc.
PMMA has the advantages of being lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to mold. Its molding methods include casting, injection molding, mechanical processing, and thermoforming. Particularly, injection molding allows for mass production, simple processes, and low costs. Therefore, its applications are becoming increasingly widespread, including parts for instruments and meters, automotive lighting, optical lenses, transparent pipes, and more.
**Application Areas**
1. Construction applications: display windows, soundproof doors and windows, light covers, telephone booths, etc.
2. Advertising applications: light boxes, signs, direction signs, exhibition racks, etc.
3. Transportation applications: windows and doors for trains, cars, and other vehicles.
4. Medical applications: incubators, various surgical medical instruments, and consumer goods: bathroom facilities, crafts, cosmetics, brackets, aquariums, etc.
5. Industrial applications: instrument panels and protective covers, etc.
6. Lighting applications: daylight tubes, chandeliers, streetlight covers, etc.
Application fields: shopping malls, office buildings, villas, museums, medical facilities, education, exhibition displays, etc.
Application areas: ceilings, integrated ceilings, partitions, screens, sliding doors, transparent walls, furniture, office furniture, bars, lighting fixtures, chandeliers, signage, signs, flooring, landscaping, etc.
