1.The term "acrylic" might sound unfamiliar, as it is a new term that has only emerged on the Chinese mainland in the past two years. It was not until 2002 that it gradually became known to a few people in the advertising industry, the furniture industry and the handicraft industry. "ACRYLIC" is a transliteration loanword, and its English is ACRYLIC. It is a kind of chemical material. The chemical name is "PMMA", which belongs to the propylene alcohol class and is commonly known as "specially treated organic glass". In the application industry, its raw materials are generally in the form of particles, plates, tubes, etc.
2. Acrylic Sheets and Organic Glass "Organic glass" is derived from the English word "Organic glass". In recent years, in some regions, all transparent plastic sheets have been collectively referred to as organic glass. In fact, this is incorrect. Acrylic specifically refers to pure polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) material, and PMMA sheets are called acrylic sheets.
3. Characteristics and Advantages of Acrylic Sheets Acrylic has high transparency, with a light transmittance of 92%, and is known as the "plastic crystal". It also has excellent weather resistance, especially when used outdoors, it ranks first among other plastics. It also has good surface hardness and luster, and is highly malleable in processing, allowing it to be made into various required shapes and products. In addition, there are various types and rich colors of the plates (including semi-transparent color plates), and another feature is that thick plates can still maintain high transparency.
4. The History of ACRYLIC Acrylic (ACRYLIC), commonly known as specially treated organic glass. The research and development of acrylic has a history of more than a hundred years. The cohesiveness of acrylic acid was first discovered in 1872. The cohesiveness of methacrylic acid was known in 1880. The research on the synthesis method of propylene polypropionate was completed in 1901. In 1927, an attempt was made to industrialize manufacturing using the aforementioned synthetic method.
In 1937, the industrial manufacturing of methyl esters was successfully developed, marking the beginning of large-scale production. During World War II, due to the excellent strength, toughness and light transmittance of acrylic, it was first applied to the windshields of aircraft and the field of vision mirrors in the cabs of tank drivers. The birth of the world's first acrylic bathtub in 1948 marked a new milestone in the application of acrylic.
Acrylic production process
Acrylic sheets can be classified into cast type and extruded type based on their production processes. The performance of cast type sheets is better than that of extruded type ones, but they are also more expensive. Cast type sheets are mainly used for engraving, decoration, and handicraft making, while extruded type sheets are typically used in the production of advertising signs, light boxes, etc.
Acrylic properties
1. Excellent transparency
Colorless and transparent acrylic sheet, with a light transmittance of over 92%
2. Excellent weather resistance
It has strong adaptability to the natural environment. Even after long-term exposure to sunlight, wind and rain, its performance will not change. It has good anti-aging performance and can be used outdoors with peace of mind
3. Good processing performance
Acrylic sheets are suitable for both mechanical processing and easy thermoforming. They can be dyed, and their surfaces can be painted, silk-screened or vacuum-coated
4. Excellent comprehensive performance
Acrylic sheets come in a wide variety of types and colors, and have extremely excellent comprehensive performance, providing designers with diverse choices. Acrylic sheets can be dyed, and their surfaces can be painted, silk-screened or vacuum-coated
5. Non-toxic, it is harmless even in long-term contact with humans, and the gases produced during combustion do not generate toxic gases
6.Specification and thickness
Specification: 1.22 * 2.44 m, 1.22 * 1.83 m, 1.25 * 2.5 m, 2 * 3 m, 2.05 * 3.05 m
Thickness :2mm-50mm
Product advantages
Hardness:
Hardness is one of the parameters that best reflect the production process and technology of cast acrylic sheets and is an important part of quality control. Hardness can reflect the purity of the raw material MMA, the weather resistance of the board and its high-temperature resistance, etc. Hardness directly affects whether the sheet will shrink, bend or deform, and whether the surface will crack during processing. Hardness is one of the hard indicators for evaluating the quality of acrylic sheets. The imported material cast acrylic sheet produced by our company has the highest hardness index among similar products in China at present. The average Rockwell hardness value is about 89 degrees.
2. Thickness tolerance:
The control of sheet thickness tolerance is an important manifestation of quality management and production technology. The thickness tolerance of the imported material cast acrylic sheet is controlled within +0.2mm.
3. Transparency/Whiteness:
Strict raw material selection, advanced formula follow-up and modern production techniques ensure the excellent transparency and pure whiteness of the boards. It is crystal clear after flame polishing.
