When carrying out home decoration, a lot of materials will be applied so as to achieve the desired decorative effect. Plexiglass is a more popular decorative material in recent years, that plexiglass is what it is, the following is to talk about this issue.
What is plexiglass
What is plexiglass, plexiglass is actually a chemical synthetic substance, it's another name is called methyl methacrylate, this name is very specialized, the ordinary people call it will be called plexiglass, it is a resin raw materials through the synthesis and, essentially, is considered to be a kind of plastic, but also plexiglass is also relatively lightweight, hardness is also very strong. It can be used in many places.
What is plexiglass, plexiglass is another common name called acrylic, which I believe many people will understand, this name is from Hong Kong and Taiwan over there, is a direct translation from the English side, and then close contact with the mainland after the mainland side has quite a lot of people say so.
The transparency of the plexiglass is quite good, according to some experiments, more than 92% of the sun can be passed, the hardness is also very high,
easily will not be broken, so plexiglass is also used in places such as car lamps, and its corrosion resistance is also quite good, will not be in a relatively short period of time on the aging. Therefore, for the need to be used in a lot of places, but also very common, so this plexiglass price is also more affordable.Plexiglass characteristics
A high degree of transparency
Plexiglass is currently the finest polymer transparent materials, light transmission rate of 92%, higher than the transmittance of glass. Called the artificial small sun of the sun lamp tube is made of quartz, this is because the quartz can completely through the ultraviolet radiation. Ordinary glass can only transmit 0.6% of ultraviolet light, but Plexiglas can transmit 73%.
Second, high mechanical strength
The relative molecular quality of plexiglass is about 2 million, is a long chain of polymer compounds, and the formation of molecular chain is very soft, so the strength of plexiglass is relatively high, resistance to stretching and impact resistance than the ability of ordinary glass is higher than 7-18 times.
There is a kind of heating and stretching processed plexiglass, in which the molecular chain segments are arranged in a very orderly manner, so that the toughness of the material has a significant improvement. With a nail into this plexiglass, even if the nail penetrated, the plexiglass does not produce cracks. This kind of plexiglass is pierced by the bullet will not break into pieces.
Therefore, stretching treatment of plexiglass can be used as bulletproof glass, also used as a cockpit cover on military aircraft.Third, light weight
Plexiglass density of 1.18g/cm3, the same size of the material, its weight is only half of ordinary glass, metal aluminum (belonging to the light metal) 43%.
Fourth, easy to process
Plexiglass can not only be cut with a lathe, drilling machine for drilling, and can be acetone, chloroform, etc. bonded into a variety of shapes of appliances, but also can be blown, injected, extruded, and other plastic molding methods processed into a large aircraft cockpit cover, as small as the shape of the dentures and toothpicks and other shape *** of the product.
The use of plexiglass
Plexiglass is widely used, plexiglass is not only in business, light industry, construction, chemical industry and so on. And plexiglass production, in advertising and decoration, sand modeling is widely used, such as: signage, signboards, light box panels and panels of Chinese and English letters.
Selection depends on the modeling design, what kind of shape, with what kind of plexiglass, color, variety should be repeatedly tested to achieve the best results. With a good modeling design, but also rely on careful processing and production, in order to become a beautiful craft.
1. Architectural applications: windows, acoustic windows and doors, light covers, telephone booths, etc.
2. Advertising applications: light boxes, signs, signage, display racks, etc.
3. Transportation applications: trains, automobiles, and other vehicles, windows and doors, etc.
4. Medical applications: baby care boxes, a variety of surgical medical equipment, civil supplies: bathroom facilities, handicrafts, cosmetics, brackets, Industrial applications: instrument surface panels and covers, etc.
6. Lighting applications: fluorescent lamps, chandeliers, street lampshades, etc.
7. Household applications: fruit plates, tissue boxes, acrylic art paintings, and other household household household products
