Acrylic sheet, chemically known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a type of organic glass produced by polymerizing methyl methacrylate monomers. Its crystal-clear appearance and excellent overall performance have made it a popular alternative to ordinary glass and traditional plastics, making it a popular choice for applications in architectural decoration, advertising displays, household goods, and many other fields.
Acrylic sheet boasts exceptional performance characteristics.
Its light transmittance is a significant advantage, exceeding 92%, far exceeding that of ordinary glass. The soft, non-glaring light passing through creates a bright and airy atmosphere.
In terms of weather resistance, it resists long-term UV exposure, resists yellowing and aging, and maintains stable performance in outdoor environments.
Its impact resistance is also remarkable, being 6-10 times stronger than ordinary glass, reducing the risk of breakage and making it safer to use. Acrylic sheets also offer excellent processing properties and can be fashioned into a variety of shapes through cutting, engraving, bending, and gluing to meet diverse design needs. They can also be treated with surface treatments such as painting and silk-screening to create a rich variety of colors and patterns.
These properties make acrylic sheets suitable for a wide range of applications.
In architectural decoration, they are often used to create skylights, partitions, and screens, ensuring natural light and enhancing the aesthetics of the space. In advertising, they are ideal for light boxes, signs, and display stands, where their high light transmittance, combined with lighting, makes advertising content more eye-catching.
In household items, acrylic sheets can be made into acrylic tables and chairs, storage boxes, and bathroom mirrors, combining aesthetics with practicality.
In the medical field, due to its excellent biocompatibility, they are used in medical device housings and protective covers.
Acrylic sheets also play an important role in crafts, aquariums, and automotive interiors, creating exquisite crafts, water-resistant aquarium panels, and lightweight automotive decorative parts.
With the continuous innovation of design concepts, the application scope of acrylic sheets continues to expand, making them a leader in the modern material field, combining both beauty and strength.
