Under normal circumstances, most of us will confuse the acrylic transparent plate and the plexiglass plate, although their composition is the same in the corresponding degree, but the acrylic transparent plate is based on the plexiglass plate, through a special process after processing. So, is there a difference between the two to some extent? Let's take a look at the differences that PG introduces to you.
Acrylic transparent plate and ordinary plexiglass compared to the main differences are as follows:
The commonalities between the two:
It is a kind of plate made of polymethyl methacrylate, generally made of 'methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA)' polymerization.
Note: In the market, there are usually people who habitually call PMMA acrylic sheets into imported plexiglass, and PMMA acrylic extruded sheets into joint venture plexiglass. Of course, this is only part. No one would have called it that if it had been a more nuanced distinction.
The difference:
Plexiglass: It is generally a combination of all transparent plastics such as PS, PC, etc. Or sheets made from poor quality recycled MMA, which are basically collectively referred to as plexiglass.
Acrylic transparent plate: acrylic plate is different, generally made of pure material MMA PMMA board, the market made of this material are all acrylic plate as a unified name.
Identify:
1, feel: high quality acrylic material feel soft, feel very delicate, and without sweat stains, fingerprint printing, workmanship is also very in place in the details.
2, thickness: Thickness is the rigid standard of acrylic bearing range, generally there will be a specified thickness standard.
3, uniformity: Different from ordinary plexiglass, in color, whether uniform is one of the criteria to judge whether acrylic is good or bad.
