What is the material of acrylic? How to distinguish the quality of acrylic board?

Many different decorative materials will be used in decoration, and different styles have different functions. Acrylic materials are also often used. It has good patience and suitable hardness, and can make many good products. Maybe you don't know much about it. What is acrylic material? What kind of acrylic material is the best choice? Then, next, we will introduce acrylic materials and their characteristics.

1. What is the material of acrylic?

Acrylic is also called acrylic acid, and its chemical name is polymethyl methacrylate. It is an acrylic plate made of organic compounds, and its transparency and light transmittance are like glass. This material is an important thermoplastic developed earlier, which has good transparency, strong weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing and beautiful appearance, and is widely used in buildings, furniture products and sanitary ware.

The hardness of acrylic sheet is usually the standard to measure the quality of sheet. Usually, the hardness of acrylic board with good quality can reach 89 Rockwell hardness. It's very hard and firm. At the same time, acrylic sheet has excellent weather resistance and is not afraid of direct sunlight and wind and rain. It has a long service life and is a common outdoor decorative material. The transparency and light transmittance of acrylic board are very good, which can reach more than 92%, because it can ensure the transparency and pure whiteness of the board in the production process.

Second, the performance characteristics of acrylic materials

1, the transparency is good, the light transmittance is above 92%, the light is soft, and the dyeing of acrylic fiber with dyes also has a strong color rendering effect.

2. It has strong weather resistance, strong hardness and high temperature resistance.

3. Good processability, which can be thermoformed or machined.

Although the light transmittance is the same as that of glass, its density is only half that of glass. In addition, it is not as fragile as glass, and even if it is broken, it will not form sharp fragments like glass.

5, with wear resistance, stability, corrosion resistance and other characteristics.

Third, how to distinguish the quality of acrylic materials?

1 observation method

The easiest way to distinguish the quality of acrylic board is to observe whether its surface has faded or low gloss, which can be seen from these aspects. Secondly, we can also see whether the description of acrylic board is consistent with the actual material situation, so as to judge whether it is a formal material.

2. Combustion method

You can burn it with a small acrylic board. If the acrylic board burns quickly, it means that the quality of the acrylic board is unqualified.

3. Optical transmission method

The so-called light transmission method is to use the light transmittance of acrylic to distinguish between good and bad, and white light can be used to penetrate the acrylic board. Usually, the acrylic board with good quality has high light transmittance and is white after transmission. If there is color difference such as yellow or blue, it means that the quality of acrylic board is not good.

4. Paste method

When two acrylic plates are burned together, it is difficult to separate the acrylic materials with poor quality after hot melting, while the acrylic materials with good quality are easy to separate, so we can distinguish the quality of acrylic plates through this small experiment.

The above is the introduction of acrylic material. Because of its heat resistance and strong hardness, many products are very good. If you are going to buy it, you can look at it and compare it to avoid being cheated. If there are other decoration problems, you can continue to pay attention.
