Acrylic is a plastic polymer material, also called organic glass, and its chemical name is polymethylmethacrylate. Acrylic materials have good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance, are easy to dye and process, and have beautiful appearance. They are widely used in the construction industry. Plexiglas cnc machining products can generally be divided into cast sheets, extruded sheets and molding compounds.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Acrylic Materials
1. Advantages of acrylic material
- (1) It has good plasticity and can be processed into other special products, such as glass, partitions, bathtubs, etc.
- (2) It has good transparency. It is a colorless and transparent organic glass sheet with a light transmittance of more than 90%, which can give people a hazy visual beauty.
- (3) Strong weather resistance, acrylic material has strong adaptability, especially to the natural environment. Even if it is exposed to the sun or wind for a long time, its performance will not change.
- (4) Long life. Compared with other material products, acrylic has a very long service life, and its impact resistance is more than ten times that of ordinary glass.
2. Disadvantages of acrylic material
- (1) Ordinary acrylic materials have relatively low hardness, so they are relatively weak in terms of heat resistance and extensibility, and are prone to cracking, brittleness, and deformation. They are also prone to whitening and yellowing in color. and other phenomena.
- (2) Acrylic is an organic material, so it may contain some substances that are harmful to the human body. When using it, it is best not to have direct contact with the skin for a long time.
Acrylic uses, acrylic cut has the advantages of high transparency, light weight, good weather resistance, impact resistance, etc., and is widely used in the following fields:
- Construction: Acrylic can be made into doors, windows, partitions, decorative panels, etc.
- Automobile: Acrylic can be used to make automobile lampshades, windows, etc.
- Aerospace: Acrylic can be used to make aircraft window covers, satellite casings, etc.
- Optics: Acrylic can be used to make optical lenses, magnifying glasses, etc.
- Home: Acrylic can be used to make home decorations, such as tableware, wine glasses, etc.
When using acrylic products, you need to pay attention to the following points:
Avoid sharp objects from scratching the acrylic surface and affecting the transparency.
When installing or using acrylic products, do not twist or bend them forcefully to avoid cracks or breaks.
Before using acrylic products, you should first understand its properties and use them in strict accordance with the instructions.
When cleaning acrylic products, use a soft cloth and avoid using harsh detergents or abrasives.
In short, acrylic is a widely used polymer material with excellent optical properties and weather resistance. When using acrylic products, care must be taken to protect their surfaces to avoid damage or cracks. At the same time, understanding its performance and usage methods can help it play its role better.
