Acrylic, commonly known as specially treated organic glass. The research and development of acrylic has a history of more than 100 years. The polymerization of acrylic acid was first discovered in 1872; the polymerization of methacrylic acid was known in 1880; the synthesis method of propylene polypropionate was completed in 1901; the above-mentioned synthesis method was used to try industrial manufacturing in 1927; and the industrial manufacturing of methyl ester was successfully developed in 1937, thus entering large-scale manufacturing. During World War II, due to its excellent toughness and light transmittance, acrylic was first used in aircraft windshields and tank driver's cab vision mirrors. The birth of the world's first acrylic bathtub in 1948 marked a new milestone in the application of acrylic.
Acrylic cast sheet: high molecular weight, excellent stiffness, strength and excellent chemical resistance. This sheet is characterized by small batch processing, unparalleled flexibility in color system and surface texture effects, and complete product specifications, suitable for various special purposes.
Acrylic extruded sheet: Compared with cast sheet, extruded sheet has lower molecular weight and slightly weaker mechanical properties. However, this feature is conducive to bending and thermoforming processing, and is conducive to rapid vacuum forming when processing larger sheets. At the same time, the thickness tolerance of extruded sheet is smaller than that of cast sheet. Since extruded sheet is mass-produced automatically, the color and specifications are not easy to adjust, so the diversity of product specifications is subject to certain restrictions.
1. Good weather resistance and acid and alkali resistance, will not produce yellowing and hydrolysis due to years of sun and rain.
2. Long life, compared with other materials, the life is more than three years longer.
3. Good light transmittance, up to more than 92%, the required light intensity is small, saving electricity.
4. Strong impact resistance, which is sixteen times that of ordinary glass, suitable for installation in areas where safety is particularly needed.
5. Excellent insulation performance, suitable for various electrical equipment.
6. Light weight, half lighter than ordinary glass, small load on buildings and brackets.
7. Bright colors and high brightness are unmatched by other materials.
8. Strong plasticity, large shape changes, easy processing and molding.
9. High recyclability, recognized by the growing environmental awareness.
10. Easy to maintain and clean, rainwater can be cleaned naturally, or wiped with soap and soft cloth.
