Acrylic, understanding from performance and use

Speaking of acrylic mirror sheet, the first thing to mention is its high light transmittance. Acrylic mirror sheet also has the name of “plastic crystal”, its light transmittance is as high as 92%, and it is regarded as an alternative material for glass. Acrylic mirror panels can be seen in the display cabinets of many shopping malls, which can clearly show the appearance and beauty of the products, and can avoid the damaged pieces from damaging the products like glass.

Strong impact resistance. The impact resistance of acrylic products can reach sixteen times that of ordinary glass, and it is safer to use on the basis of light transmittance comparable to ordinary glass.

The acrylic sheet has a high hardness. The hardness of the material will directly affect whether the sheet will shrink and bend, and the average Duroc hardness of the acrylic sheet is about 8, 9 degrees, so the weather resistance is a commendable feature of the acrylic sheet.

Acrylic bathtubs and acrylic artificial stone countertops are the most widely used in acrylic home improvement. The acrylic countertop is an artificial stone countertop with ultra-fine alumina as a filler, which basically has the characteristics of weather resistance and mechanical properties of acrylic materials. Two of the most important things to note about acrylic countertops are their high temperature resistance and wear resistance. Pure acrylic has a high temperature resistance of only 120 degrees, and the composite acrylic table has a maximum temperature resistance of 90, which is inferior to quartz stone in heat resistance. Therefore, when using the acrylic countertop, try to avoid direct contact with hot objects, and place the mat before placing the high temperature object.
