Ordinary plexiglass plate is cast with ordinary plexiglass cracking material and pigment, which has low surface hardness and is easy to fade, and the polishing effect is poor after polishing with fine sand. The composite board has only a thin layer of acrylic with ABS plastic in the middle, which is easy to be layered due to thermal expansion and cold contraction in use. True and false acrylic can be identified from the subtle color difference and polishing effect of the plate section.
