What is the acrylic material?

Acrylic, also known as PMMA or plexiglass, chemical name is polymethyl methacrylate.

It is an important plastic polymer material developed earlier, has good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing, and beautiful appearance. It is widely used in the construction industry, industrial, cosmetic display, etc. Plexiglass products can generally be divided into cast sheets, extruded sheets and molding compounds.

Development
The research and development of acrylic has a history of more than 100 years.

In 1872, the polymerizability of acrylic acid was discovered;

In 1880, the polymerizability of methacrylic acid was known;
In 1901, the research on the synthesis of propylene polyacrylate was completed;
In 1927, the above-mentioned synthetic method was used to try industrialized manufacturing;
In 1937, the industrial manufacturing of methyl ester was successfully developed and entered into large-scale manufacturing.

Characteristic
1. It has crystal-like transparency, the light transmittance is above 92%, the light is soft, the vision is clear, and the acrylic colored with dyes has a good color development effect.
2. Acrylic sheet has excellent weather resistance, high surface hardness and surface gloss, and good high temperature performance.
3. Acrylic sheet has good processing performance, which can be thermoformed or mechanically processed.
4. The transparent acrylic sheet has a light transmittance comparable to that of glass, but the density is only half of that of glass. In addition, it is not as brittle as glass, and even if broken, it will not form sharp shards like glass.
5. The wear resistance of acrylic sheet is close to that of aluminum, with good stability and corrosion resistance to various chemicals.
6. Acrylic sheets have good printability and sprayability. With proper printing and spraying processes, acrylic products can be given an ideal surface decoration effect.
7. Flame resistance: It is not self-igniting but is a flammable product and does not have self-extinguishing properties.
