Acrylic is a polymer polymer, with all the advantages of glass, in many occasions can replace the glass; and the main component of glass is silicon dioxide, can not replace the acrylic, the most important thing is that the cost of acrylic is lower than glass, but also not easy to break, and durable, so the acrylic injection molding products are more and more sought after by people.
First, the impact resistance of acrylic is very strong, is 100 times that of glass, is 16 times that of tempered glass, its hardness can be compared with aluminum profiles, and the thickness of acrylic products can be done more than 150mm, toughened glass can only be done up to 20mm, the impact resistance is not at all in a class, and the same volume of products, the weight of glass products is 2.5 times the weight of acrylic, such as the windshield of the aircraft with the Is acrylic, is valued for its security and light transmission, as well as light density characteristics. Toughened glass itself has 3 ‰ burst rate, ask which aircraft dare to try, once the consequences of self-explosion is unimaginable.
Secondly, the light transmission of acrylic is very good, general glass transmittance of 82% -89%, the best ultra-white glass can only reach 89%. Acrylic transmittance up to 95%, soft light transmission, good visual effect. Now many cutting-edge weapons optical sights, high-precision optical lenses are made of acrylic.
Third, acrylic also has good processing performance, can be used directly injection molding, machining, thermoforming and so on. Especially injection molding, can be customized according to your needs to produce large quantities of products, products can be made into a variety of shapes, a variety of colors as well as a variety of appearances, but also can be injected into the structure of the complex unibody molding products, to meet the transparency of the requirements of a larger size, and is not subject to the transport and spatial conditions. But the tempered glass can not be reprocessed, cutting and splicing, but also not suitable for making different shapes, colorful appearance of the process, so it can not meet the finished product of the appearance of diversified, colorful, and the price of low-cost, but acrylic can be achieved.
Acrylic is a very good kind of plastic, he is recognized as the queen of plastics, easy to process, color, toughness, Handvivo production of acrylic glitter picture frames, acrylic refrigerator magnets, acrylic keychains, acrylic hourglass bubble timer and other handicrafts are all using acrylic materials.
