What is acrylic? What are the characteristics of acrylic ceiling lamps?

Acrylic is an important thermoplastic that was developed earlier. It has good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance. It is easy to dye and process and has beautiful appearance. It is widely used in the construction industry. . In this article, I will introduce what acrylic is and what are the characteristics of acrylic ceiling lamps.

1. What is acrylic

Acrylic is an important thermoplastic that was developed earlier and has good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance. It is non-toxic, easy to dye, easy to process, and has beautiful appearance. It is widely used in the construction industry. In the past, acrylic panels were commonly known as plexiglass, and their transparency and transmittance were similar to those of glass. Acrylic (ACRYLIC), commonly known as specially treated organic glass. The research and development of acrylic has a history of more than 100 years. During World War II, due to its excellent strength and light transmittance, acrylic was first used in aircraft windshields and tank driver's cab vision mirrors.

Acrylic is the best new material for making cleaning ware after ceramics. Compared with traditional ceramic materials, acrylic, in addition to its unparalleled high brightness, also has the advantages of good durability, not easy to be damaged, and strong repairability. Just use soft foam dipped in toothpaste to scrub the sanitary ware as new. Because acrylic production is difficult and costly, there are many low-quality and low-cost substitutes on the market. These substitutes are also called "acrylic" and are usually organic boards or composite boards (also known as sandwich boards). Generally, organic boards are cast with ordinary organic glass cracking materials and pigments. The surface hardness is low, easy to fade, and the polishing effect is poor after grinding with fine sand.

Acrylic is not resistant to corrosion or high temperatures. Acrylic itself is a thermally processed product. In contrast, glass and crystal are resistant to high temperatures. As for brands, Philips, Opple, and Osram are all pretty good! However, acrylics are basically the same. The famous brands mentioned above are good because of the rectifiers and energy-saving lamps inside.

2. Characteristics of acrylic ceiling lamps

Acrylic ceiling lamps are also a representative product of acrylic in the construction industry, giving full play to its characteristics of transparency, easy processing and easy dyeing. Bringing you unexpected visual effects, let’s talk about the characteristics of acrylic ceiling lamps in detail:

1. Hardness

The hardness is directly related to the content of acrylic, and the content is low. The product produced can feel soft, and in turn, the hardness is relatively hard. The hardness of the product will directly affect the heat resistance and deformation and shortening of the product.

2. Acrylic tolerance

Mainly reflected in the thickness of the acrylic sheet, usually this tolerance is determined based on the product and use. Usually no larger than three millimeters.

3. Transparency

Only through strict selection of raw materials and reasonable production and processing technology can the transparency and whiteness of the product be guaranteed. For ceiling lamps, this is Very important.

Conclusion: I will introduce what is acrylic and the characteristics of acrylic ceiling lamps here. I hope it will be helpful to you. To learn more about building materials, please continue to pay attention to Fuwo Decoration Guide.
