There are two processes for manufacturing acrylic

There are two processes for manufacturing acrylic

1. Extrusion/extrusion method

2. Cellular tube type

The extrusion method of manufacturing acrylic is less expensive, but has two problems. One is that it tends to be much softer than cell-cast acrylic, which causes it to scratch more easily. Second, the surface of the extruded acrylic may have impurities. While it may appear to be a deal breaker, this type of acrylic can be applied to areas where such events result in very few contact points for scratching. This is because the lower cost does result in significant savings when dealing with larger quantities.

On the other hand, cell cast acrylic is more durable and has a harder surface due to the casting process. The process of cell casting is such that it is formed in a closed area. This reduces the chances of impurities entering the material. As a result, the final product looks clearer when it is made. Plexiglas is also a cell-cast acrylic. Acrylic is "softer" than "Plexiglas", but more forgiving under pressure. It can withstand higher pressures before breaking.


The process of manufacturing acrylic

 

Know your product.

The most common problem with acrylic and plexiglass is the many names used in the plastics industry. Acrylic is the primary name, indicating the type of polymer used in its manufacture. Plexiglas is basically just a trade or brand name, and it is called plexiglass. So if you go to the store and ask for acrylic, you will get what is in stock in the store. Since "acrylic" is the main product name for the product, it is best to ask for "extruded acrylic" or "unit cast acrylic". Make sure you get the right product by knowing the different types of acrylic and understanding the differences between them.

 

Service life of acrylic products.

The service life of acrylic-based plastics is a maximum of 7 to 10 years. This is usually the limited warranty for acrylic products marketed, but this limited warranty only covers fading and discoloration. Keep in mind that this does not mean that the material will last the full 10 years, as there are factors involved that can accelerate fading and discoloration. For example, if you live in an area with a high salt content in the air (wet or near a beach), the acrylic material may start to show signs of decay sooner. The same is true for acrylic panels that come in contact with alcohol or ammonia, which can also show signs of fading and discoloration more quickly. So, in short, the harder the surface, the longer the life you will get from your acrylic product.

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 luminous,

Use Of Acrylic Pattern Sheet

As a  China Acrylic Sheet Manufacturer , let us introduce the use of acrylic sheets.Acrylic is the best new material that can be used to make 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 break; strong repairability, just use a soft foam to remove the toothpaste to wipe the sanitary ware; soft texture, winter There is no sense of cold and biting; the color is bright, which can satisfy the individual pursuit of different tastes. Acrylic basins, bathtubs, and toilets are not only beautiful in style, durable, but also environmentally friendly. Their radiation levels are similar to those of the human body. Acrylic sanitary ware first appeared in the United States and has occupied more than 70% of the entire international market. Because acrylic production is difficult and costly, there are many low-cost and low-cost substitutes on the market. These
