Acrylic, also known as special treatment of plexiglass, plexiglass replacement products, light boxes made of acrylic with good light transmission, pure colour, rich colour, beautiful and flat, taking into account the two effects of the day and night, long service life, does not affect the use of other characteristics. The chemical name is called PMMA is a polyacrylate, commonly known as specially treated plexiglass, acrylic raw materials in the application industry generally in the form of particles, plates, tubes and so on.
Acrylic has a ‘plastic crystal’ reputation. And has excellent weather resistance, especially for outdoor applications, the top of other plastics, and both good surface hardness and gloss, processing plasticity, can be made into a variety of shapes and products needed. Another sheet of a wide variety of colourful (including translucent colour plate), another feature is that the thick plate can still maintain a high degree of transparency.
PMMA has the advantages of light weight, low price, easy to form. Its forming methods are casting, injection moulding, machining, thermoforming and so on. Especially injection moulding, can be mass production, simple process, low cost. Therefore, its application is becoming more and more extensive, it is widely used in instrumentation parts, automotive lamps, optical lenses, transparent pipes and so on.
Acrylic is the best new material to manufacture sanitary ware after ceramics. Compared with traditional ceramic materials, acrylic in addition to unparalleled high brightness, there are the following advantages: good toughness, not easy to break; strong repair, as long as the soft foam dipped in a little toothpaste can be wiped with a new sanitary ware; soft texture, there is no cold and harsh feeling in winter; bright colours to meet the pursuit of personality of different tastes.

Hardness is one of the hard indicators to judge the quality of acrylic sheet. Imported material cast acrylic sheet with domestic equivalent products with the highest hardness index. The average Rockwell hardness value of 89 degrees or so.
-
Thickness tolerance: here the thickness tolerance is the thickness of acrylic sheet acrylic tolerance, the control of this tolerance is an important embodiment of quality management and production technology. Imported material cast acrylic sheet thickness acrylic tolerance control within +0.2mm.
-
Transparency / whiteness: strict selection of raw materials, advanced formulas to follow up and modern production processes to ensure that the sheet excellent transparency and pure white. Crystal clear after flame polishing.
