Difference Among Plexiglass, Acrylic and PS Plates

Plexiglass has a very beautiful appearance, polished with crystal-like luster, alias "Queen of plastic crystal". Disadvantages: hardness is not as good as steel, ceramics, silicon glass and other inorganic products. The coefficient of water absorption and thermal expansion are large.
The use of plexiglass: plexiglass is widely used in hotels, hotels, stadiums, airport terminals, shelters, schools, outdoor advertising light boxes because of its special properties.

Decorative acrylic sheet is also called PS plate commonly known as "organic board", chemical name Polystyene polystyrene, density 1.02 ~ 1.08 is a thermoplastic, relatively high transparency (transmittance second only to plexiglass), excellent electrical insulation, high The frequency insulation is especially good, the quality is brittle, the impact resistance, the weather resistance and the aging resistance are inferior to the plexiglass, the mechanical processing properties and the thermal processing properties are not as good as the organic glass, the general chemical corrosion resistance, the chemical stability, the hardness and the organic glass On the other hand, the water absorption and thermal expansion coefficient are lower than those of plexiglass, and the price is lower than that of plexiglass. Acrylic prismatic sheet can be found here on our website.

The chemical name is poly(methyl methacrylimide) polymethyl methacrylate, which is formed by polymerizing methyl methacrylate monomer MMA. It is a kind of thermoplastic plastic with a density of 1.19~1.20. It has a very high transparency, transmittance of 92~93%, visible light 99%, UV light 72%, weight only 1/2 of ordinary glass, anti-fragmentation Its performance is 12 to 18 times that of ordinary silica glass, its mechanical strength and toughness is more than 10 times that of ordinary glass, and its hardness is equivalent to that of metallic aluminum. It has outstanding weather resistance and aging resistance at low temperatures (-50~60°C) and higher. Temperature (below 100°C) Impact strength constant, good electrical insulation, arc resistance, good thermoplastic processing properties, easy to process and shape, good machining properties, available saw, drill, milling, car, Shaver processing, chemical stability, resistance to general chemical corrosion, insoluble in water.

Plastic Artist-Acrylic Processing Technology

Acrylic can be used casting, injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, laser engraving, laser cutting and other processes. Casting molding Casting molding for forming plexiglass sheet, bar and other profiles, that is, body-bulk polymerization method of forming profiles. After casting molded products need to be post-processed, post-processing conditions are incubated at 60 ℃ 2 hours, 120 ℃ for 2 hours. Injection molding Injection molding using suspension polymerization obtained pellets, molding in the ordinary plunger or screw injection molding machine. Process parameters include screw injection molding machine, plunger injection molding machine, barrel temperature, injection molding products also need to eliminate the internal stress treatment, processing in the hot air circulation oven at 70 ~ 80 ℃, processing time as the thickness of acrylic products, the general All about 4 hours. Thermoforming Thermoforming is the process of making plexiglass sheets or she...

Is Acrylic Suitable for Lights?

When decorating a room, in addition to some decoration materials, you also need to install lamps and lanterns. Because lamps and lanterns are very important in people's life and can provide lighting. In the dark night, you can work and live as in the daytime. In recent years, acrylic lamps are especially popular. There are many types of acrylic lamps, and people may not know how to choose when they are choosing. In this blog post, I will give you details on how to choose acrylic lights and what to look for when installing acrylic lights .   The advantages of acrylic lights Color The color is very durable. Acrylic panels are glossy, bright and colorful, and the colors are durable for 5-8 years. In other words, it will not change or fade in 5-8 years. Transparent High light transmission. Transparent  acrylic sheets  provide over 90% light transmission. The built-in light source provides uniform and soft nighttime brightness. Compared to neon, acrylic letters as a whole are ...

Types of Acrylic Sheet

Acrylic - which also goes by the brand names of Plexiglas, Lucite, Acrylite and Perspex - is known throughout the world of plastics for its dazzling glossiness and its remarkable scratch and impact resistance. It even boasts a greater load bearing capacity than polycarbonate, one of the toughest materials out there. What you may not know is that this exceptional plastic comes in a variety of models designed to meet the specific needs of demanding owners and remodelers. If you've got a specialized project in mind and are looking for the perfect material to fulfill your design, read on to discover the variety of acrylic sheet   that'll help bring that design to life. Clear Acrylic Sheeting The most common form of acrylic, the flexibility of clear sheeting is evidenced mainly by the staggering variety of dimensions it can be ordered in. Thicknesses range from four inches to a 1/25th of an inch; widths from three feet to ten feet; lengths from four feet to twelve and a half feet. N...
