What is acrylic material, what are the uses of acrylic, these you have to understand, here we come together on these issues to discuss it.
What is acrylic
Acrylic is a kind of organic glass,
with high transparency, plasticity and other characteristics. This chemical material has a light transmission rate of 92%, and is known as "plastic crystal".
Acrylic has excellent weather resistance, which is better than other plastics. Acrylic has a good surface hardness and gloss, can be made into a variety of products can be required. It is lightweight, inexpensive and easy to mold. Its molding methods are casting, injection molding, machining and so on. Injection molding process is simple, low cost, can be mass production. The advantages of this material, acrylic, also determines the broad market of acrylic. Today, many materials have been replaced by acrylic, acrylic is used more and more widely.
Because acrylic has the characteristics of easy to clean, it is the best new material after ceramics can manufacture sanitary ware. In real life, the kitchen, bathroom cleaning, so that housewives are very agonizing. Some fumes are not easy to clean, some dirt is not easy to wash off, but as long as the use of acrylic materials made of cooktops, cabinets and other items, are very easy to clean.
In addition, as a special plexiglass, acrylic in the field of aviation has a better development, acrylic can be used as an aircraft windshield, and the service life can be up to several decades.
The use of acrylic
PMMA is to acrylic acid and its esters polymerization of polymers obtained collectively known as acrylic esters, the corresponding plastic collectively referred to as polyacrylic plastics, which is the most widely used polymethyl methacrylate methyl ester. Polymethyl methacrylate abbreviation code for PMMA, commonly known as Plexiglas, is by far the most excellent synthetic transparent materials.
PMMA is lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to mold. Its molding methods are casting,
injection molding, machining, thermoforming and so on. Especially injection molding, can be mass production, simple process, low cost. Therefore, its application is becoming more and more extensive, it is widely used in instrumentation parts, automotive lamps, optical lenses, transparent pipes and so on.1, architectural applications: windows, soundproof doors and windows, light covers, telephone booths, etc.
2, advertising applications: light boxes, signboards, signs, display racks, etc.
3, transportation applications: trains, automobiles, and other vehicles, doors and windows, etc.
4, medical applications: baby care boxes, a variety of surgical medical instruments, civil supplies: sanitary fixtures, handicrafts, cosmetics, stands, aquariums, etc.
4, medical applications: infant care box, a variety of surgical medical instruments, civil supplies: sanitary facilities, crafts, cosmetics, brackets, and other aquariums.
5, industrial applications: instrument surface panels and covers, etc.
6, lighting applications: fluorescent lamps, chandeliers, street lampshades, etc.
Advantages of acrylic
Acrylic sheet varieties, rich in color, and has an extremely excellent overall performance, providing a diverse range of choices for the designer, acrylic sheet can be dyed, and the surface can be sprayed with paint, silkscreen or Vacuum coating
Acrylic after a variety of processing techniques, can be made into special decorative, unique decorative effect products. Process: composite process, pouring process, hot melt process, laser process, engraving process, injection molding process, extrusion process.
Acrylic has a high degree of transparency, light transmission rate of 92%, "plastic crystal" reputation. And has excellent weather resistance, especially for outdoor applications, the crown of other plastics, and both good surface hardness and gloss,
processing plasticity, can be made into a variety of shapes and products needed.PMMA has a lightweight, inexpensive, easy to mold and other advantages. Its molding methods are casting, injection molding, machining, thermoforming and so on. Especially injection molding, can be mass production, simple process, low cost. Therefore, it is increasingly widely used, it is widely used in instrumentation parts, automotive lamps, optical lenses, transparent pipes and so on.
Acrylic is the best new material to manufacture sanitary ware after ceramics. Compared with traditional ceramic materials, acrylic, in addition to unparalleled high brightness, there are the following advantages: good toughness, not easy to break; strong repair, as long as the soft foam dipped in toothpaste can be wiped with a new sanitary ware; soft texture, there is no cold and harsh feeling in winter; bright colors to meet the pursuit of personality of different tastes.
