Widely used in construction industry, furniture products and sanitary ware.

Characteristics of acrylic materials

1, crystal clear, with a light transmittance of over 92%, soft light and clear vision. Acrylic dyed with dyes has a good color rendering effect.

2. Acrylic board has excellent weather resistance, high surface hardness, good luster and high temperature performance.

3. Acrylic board has good processability, which can be thermoformed or machined.

4. Transparent acrylic board has the same light transmittance as glass, but the density is only half that of glass. In addition, it is not as fragile as glass, and even if it is destroyed, it will not form sharp fragments like glass.

5. The abrasion resistance of acrylic board is close to that of aluminum, with good stability and corrosion resistance of various chemicals.

6. Acrylic board has good printability and sprayability. Through proper printing and spraying process, acrylic products can be endowed with ideal surface decoration effect.
