What is the material of acrylic? What is the material of acrylic board?

What material is acrylic? I believe many friends don't know much about it, let alone the use of acrylic. The following small series takes you to see what material acrylic is and what uses acrylic has.

1. What is the material of acrylic?

Acrylic, also known as PMMA or acrylic, has low strength.

The chemical name is polymethyl methacrylate. From England. Organic? Glass refers to PMMA plate made of organic compound MMA, which is as transparent and transparent as glass. Acrylate is an important thermoplastic developed earlier.

Acrylic products include acrylic board, acrylic plastic granules, acrylic light boxes, signboards, acrylic bathtubs, acrylic artificial marble, acrylic resin, acrylic (latex) paint and other products. Common acrylic products are made of raw materials such as acrylic particles, plates or resins through various processing methods and assembled with spare parts with different materials and functions. As for acrylic fiber, acrylic cotton, acrylic yarn, acrylic nylon and so on. They refer to man-made fibers polymerized from acrylic acid and have nothing to do with acrylic products.

Second, the main uses of acrylic materials

Do you know anything about acrylic? I believe you have a general idea. Let's take a look at the uses of acrylic materials.

PMMA is a polymer polymerized from acrylic acid and its esters, collectively referred to as acrylic resin, and the corresponding plastics are collectively referred to as polyacrylic plastics, among which polymethyl methacrylate is the most widely used. PMMA, commonly known as plexiglass, is by far the best synthetic transparent material.

PMMA has the advantages of light weight, low price and easy molding. Its forming methods include casting, injection molding, machining, thermoforming and so on. Especially injection molding, which can be produced in large quantities, has simple process and low cost. Therefore, it is widely used in instrument parts, car lights, optical lenses, transparent pipes and so on.

Application field:

1. Building applications: windows, soundproof doors and windows, lighting covers, telephone booths, etc.

2. Advertising applications: light boxes, signboards, signboards, booths, etc.

3. Traffic applications: doors and windows of vehicles such as trains and automobiles.

4. Medical applications: baby incubators, various surgical medical instruments? Civil articles: bathroom facilities, handicrafts, cosmetics, brackets, aquariums, etc.

5. Industrial application: instrument panel and protective cover, etc.

6. Lighting applications: fluorescent lamps, chandeliers, lampshades for street lamps, etc.

Application fields: hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, clubs, villas, museums, medical care, education, catering, exhibitions and so on.

Application fields: ceiling, integrated ceiling, partition, screen, sliding door, transparent wall, hotel furniture, office furniture, bar, lighting, chandelier, logo, sign, floor, landscape, etc.

Third, the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic materials

The above mainly introduces what is acrylic, and then look at the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic material.

Advantages:

Acrylic is the best new material for making sanitary ware after ceramics. Compared with traditional ceramic materials, acrylic has the following advantages in addition to unparalleled high brightness: good toughness and not easy to be damaged; Strong recovery, as long as you dip in soft foam toothpaste, you can wipe the sanitary ware; Soft texture, no icy feeling in winter; Bright colors can satisfy the individual pursuit of different tastes. The basin, bathtub and toilet made of acrylic are not only exquisite and durable, but also environmentally friendly, and their radiation level is almost the same as that of human bones. Acrylic bathroom first appeared in the United States and has occupied more than 70% of the entire international market.

Disadvantages:

Due to the difficulty and high cost of acrylic production, there are many low-quality and low-cost substitutes on the market. These substitutes, also called "acrylic", are actually ordinary organic boards or composite boards (also called sandwich boards). 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.
