Ordinary glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials, by the time and metal oxides such as sodium oxide or calcium oxide melted. Its main component is silicate complex salt, the main raw materials are quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash. It has the properties of light transmittance, heat insulation, sound insulation, abrasion resistance, climate change resistance, etc., but is fragile, impact resistance, heavy weight, and large specific gravity. It can be used to manufacture glass products with no special requirements for heat resistance and chemical stability.
Plexiglass is an organic polymer, the chemical name is polymethyl methacrylate, by the polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomer, is an important thermoplastic. Smooth surface, bright colors, good light transmission, small specific gravity, light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, sunlight resistance, insulation and sound insulation, can be made into a variety of shapes according to the needs of the items. It can also be made into colored, translucent or opaque products.
