The difference between plexiglass and ordinary glass is as follows:
1, the transparency is different: plexiglass is currently the best polymer transparent materials, light transmission rate of 92%, higher than the transmittance of ordinary glass.
2, the weight is different: the density of plexiglass is 1.18kg/dm3, the same size of the material, its weight is only half of the ordinary glass, metal aluminum (belongs to the light metal) 43%.
3, the difference in performance: the thickness of ordinary glass more than 15 centimeters, it will become a bright green, and can not see things through the glass. Plexiglass across 1 meter thick, you can also clearly see the opposite side of things. Because of its light transmittance is quite good, coupled with ultraviolet light can also be penetrated, so it is often used to make optical instruments.
Plexiglass has a wide range of applications
1, architectural applications: windows and cabinets, acoustic windows and doors, light shades, telephone booths and so on.
2, advertising applications: light boxes, signboards, signs, display racks and so on.
3, transportation applications: trains, automobiles and other vehicles doors and windows.
4, medical applications: baby nursery boxes, various surgical medical instruments folk supplies: bathroom facilities, handicrafts, cosmetics, brackets, aquariums and so on.
5, industrial applications: instrument surface plate and cover, etc..
6, lighting applications: fluorescent lamps, chandeliers, street lampshades and so on.
7, home applications: fruit plate, tissue box, acrylic art paintings and other household products.
