What material is acrylic?
Acrylic, the chemical name is polymethyl methacrylate.
It is an important plastic polymer material developed earlier. It has good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing and beautiful appearance. It is widely used in the construction industry. Plexiglass products can generally be divided into cast sheets, extruded sheets and molding compounds.
Use
Acrylic products include acrylic sheets, acrylic plastic pellets, acrylic light boxes, signboards, acrylic bathtubs, acrylic artificial marble, acrylic resins, acrylic (latex) paints, acrylic adhesives, etc. There are a wide variety of products.
Acrylic products commonly seen by people are acrylic products assembled from raw materials such as acrylic pellets, sheets or resins through various processing methods and with various materials and functional parts. As for the commonly heard acrylic fiber, acrylic cotton, acrylic yarn, acrylic nylon, etc., it refers to the man-made fiber polymerized from acrylic acid and has nothing to do with acrylic products.
Among them, the acrylic sheet that people often say is the polymethyl methacrylate Polymeric Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) sheet, which is polymerized from "methyl methacrylate monomer Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)". Or extruded from acrylic pellets through an extruder. In the past, the plate was commonly known as plexiglass. Acrylic comes from English acrylic, which means PMMA board made of organic compound MMA, its transparency and light transmittance are like glass. All sheets made from transparent plastics such as PS, PC, etc. or from inferior recycled MMA are collectively referred to as plexiglass. In order to distinguish, the PMMA board made of high-quality pure material MMA is named acrylic board to distinguish it from the general plexiglass board.
