Latest company news about What is plexiglass made of? What are the differences between organic glass and acrylic

Plexiglass a kind of polymer transparent material, chemical name is polymethyl methacrylate, is made of methyl methacrylate polymerization of polymer compounds. It is an important thermoplastic developed earlier. Organic glass is divided into colorless transparent, colored transparent, pearlescent, embossed organic glass four kinds. Organic glass is widely used, not only in business, light industry, construction, chemical industry and other aspects. And organic glass production, in advertising decoration, sand table model is widely used, such as: signs, billboards, light box panel and Chinese and English letter panel. Material selection depends on the shape design, what kind of shape, what kind of plexiglass, color, variety should be repeatedly tested, so as to achieve the best effect. With good shape design, but also rely on careful processing and production, in order to become a beautiful artifact.

Polymethyl methacrylate is a popular name shortened to PMMA. The chemical name of this polymer transparent material is polymethyl methacrylate, which is a polymer compound made of methyl methacrylate polymerization. It is an important thermoplastic developed earlier. Extra high strength and stiffness; High mechanical strength; The surface is polished; High transparency; Heat resistant without deformation; Good electrical and dielectric insulation; Strong ability to adapt to weather; Low water absorption. Plexiglass has a density of 1.18kg/dm3. The same size material is only half the weight of ordinary glass and 43% of the weight of aluminum (a light metal).

Organic glass commonly known as acrylic, in Xuan acrylic, Yagli, organic glass has good transparency, chemical stability, mechanical properties and weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing, beautiful appearance and other advantages. Organic glass is also called gelatin glass, acrylic and so on. With the advantages of high transparency, low price and easy machining, it is often used as a substitute material for glass. Plexiglass is an important thermoplastic developed earlier, with transparency, stability and weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing, beautiful appearance, has a wide range of applications in the construction industry.

Whether the commodity name "acrylic", or popular name "organic glass", this is not accurate. This very beautiful looking material, its official name is called Polymethyl methacrylate, English name Polymethyl Methacrylate, abbreviation PMMA.

This is a thermoplastic that was invented a long time ago and has a long history. Yes, you read that right. It's a kind of plastic.
