The main use of acrylic

PMMA is a polymer obtained by the polymerization of acrylic acid and its esters, which is collectively referred to as acrylic resin, and the corresponding plastics are collectively referred to as polyacrylic plastics. Among them, polymethyl methacrylate is the most widely used. The abbreviation code of polymethyl methacrylate is PMMA, commonly known as plexiglass, which is by far the most excellent synthetic transparent material.
PMMA has the advantages of light weight, low price and easy molding. Its molding methods include casting, injection molding, machining, thermoforming, etc. In particular, injection molding can be mass-produced, with simple process and low cost. Therefore, its application is becoming more and more extensive, and it is widely used in instrumentation parts, automobile lights, optical lenses, transparent pipes, etc.
advantage
Acrylic is the best new material to manufacture sanitary ware after ceramics. Compared with traditional ceramic materials, in addition to its unparalleled high brightness, acrylic has the following advantages: good toughness, not easy to be damaged; strong repairability, as long as you use soft foam to dip some toothpaste, you can wipe the sanitary ware new; soft texture, winter There is no cold and biting feeling; the colors are bright, which can meet the individual pursuit of different tastes. Using acrylic to make basins, bathtubs and toilets is not only beautiful in style, durable, but also environmentally friendly. Its radiation is almost the same as that of the human body's own bones. Acrylic sanitary ware first appeared in the United States and has occupied more than 70% of the entire international market.
shortcoming
Due to the difficulty and high cost of acrylic production, there are many low-quality and cheap substitutes on the market. These substitutes, also known as "acrylic", are actually ordinary organic boards or composite boards (also known as sandwich boards). Ordinary plexiglass is cast with ordinary plexiglass cracking material and pigments. The surface hardness is low, it is easy to fade, and the polishing effect is poor after grinding with fine sand. The composite board only has a thin layer of acrylic on the surface, and the middle is ABS plastic, which is easy to delaminate due to thermal expansion and contraction during use. Real and fake acrylic can be identified from the subtle color difference and polishing effect of the section of the sheet
Acrylic is widely used and can be used in test racks, patch trays.
