Plexiglass has another common name, called acrylic, I believe that many people are more often heard.
The transparency of plexiglass is very good, and experiments have shown that more than 92% of the sunlight can be passed, and the hardness is very high, and it will not be easily broken. And in the car's headlights and other places are also applied to plexiglass, plexiglass corrosion resistance is also good, will not age in a short time.
The price of plexiglass is also relatively close to the people. And what are the characteristics of plexiglass?
First, highly transparent plexiglass is an excellent polymer transparent material, the solar lamp tube of the artificial small sun is quartz (because quartz can fully penetrate ultraviolet light), ordinary glass can only penetrate 0.6&ultraviolet light, but plexiglass can penetrate 73%.
Second, the relative molecules of high mechanical strength plexiglass are about 2 million, which is a long chain of polymer compounds, and the chain forming the molecule is very soft, therefore, the strength of plexiglass is high after all, and the tensile resistance and impact resistance are 7-18 times higher than ordinary glass. There is a kind of heated and stretched plexiglass, even if the nail penetrates the plexiglass, it will not crack, and this organic glass will not break into fragments after the bullet puncture. Therefore, the stretch-treated plexiglass can be used as bulletproof glass, and it is also used in the cockpit of military aircraft.
The density of light weight plexiglass is 1.18g/cm3, and the same size material, its weight is only half of ordinary glass!
Fourth, easy to process plexiglass can not only be cut with a lathe, drilling machine for drilling, but also can be bonded into various shapes of equipment with imitation, but also can be processed into large aircraft cabin cover, injection, extrusion and other plastic molding methods, small to dentures and dentures and other products.
The application of plexiglass is very wide, and plexiglass is not only in light industry, commerce, chemical industry and so on. Moreover, the application in advertising decoration and sand table model is also very extensive.
