Plexiglas is a popular name. From this name, you may not know what kind of substance it is, nor what elements it is composed of. The chemical name of this polymer transparent material is polymethyl methacrylate, which is its English abbreviation. It is polymerized from methyl methacrylate.
The polymers obtained by polymerizing acrylic acid and its esters are collectively called acrylic resins, and the corresponding plastics are collectively called polyacrylic plastics, among which polymethacrylate methyl ester is the most widely used. The abbreviation code of polymethyl methacrylate is, commonly known as plexiglass. It has excellent light transmission properties, can pass through the above sunlight, ultraviolet rays, has high mechanical strength, and has certain heat and cold resistance, corrosion resistance, and insulation properties. Good, stable in size, easy to form, brittle in texture, easily soluble in organic solvents, surface hardness is not enough, easy to rub, can be used for transparent structural parts that require a certain strength, such as oil cups, car lights, instrument parts, optical lenses, decorative gifts etc. Adding some additives to it can improve its performance, such as heat resistance and friction resistance. It has the best properties among synthetic transparent materials so far. At present, this material is widely used in the production of advertising light boxes, nameplates, etc.
Performance
Material
The chemical name of organic glass (acrylic) is polymethyl methacrylate, which is a polymer compound polymerized from methacrylate.
Application
Plexiglas is widely used, not only in commercial, light industry, construction, chemical industry, etc. Moreover, plexiglass production is widely used in advertising decoration sand table models, such as signs, billboards, light box panels and Chinese and English alphabet panels.
The selection of materials depends on the shape design. What kind of shape and what kind of plexiglass colors should be tested repeatedly to achieve the best effect. Only with good shape design and careful processing can it become a beautiful handicraft.
Features
Smooth surface, bright colors, small specific gravity, high strength, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, light resistance, good insulation performance and good sound insulation.
Shape
It can be divided into three types: tubular, rod and plate.
Impact resistant PMMA board, lightweight plexiglass board, durable acrylic board
