Plexiglass (methyl methacrylate) is a popular name, abbreviated as PMMA. The chemical name of this polymer transparent material is polymethyl methacrylate, which is a polymer compound polymerized from methyl methacrylate. It is an important thermoplastic that was developed earlier. There are four types of plexiglass: colorless and transparent, colored and transparent, pearlescent and embossed plexiglass. Plexiglas is commonly known as acrylic, Zhongxuan acrylic, and acrylic. Plexiglas has the advantages of good transparency, chemical stability, mechanical properties and weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing, and beautiful appearance. Plexiglas is also called gelatin glass, Acrylic etc.

plexiglass, English: Poly (methyl methacrylate), abbreviated as: PMMA; the chemical name of plexiglass is polymethyl methacrylate, which is a polymer compound polymerized from methacrylate. Smooth surface, bright colors, small specific gravity, high strength, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, sun resistance, good insulation performance and good sound insulation. It can be divided into three types: tube-shaped materials, rod-shaped materials and plate-shaped materials.

PMMA is a polymer obtained by polymerizing acrylic acid and its esters, collectively referred to as acrylic resin, and the corresponding plastics are collectively referred to as polyacrylic plastics, among which polymethyl methacrylate is the most widely used. The abbreviation code of polymethylmethacrylate is PMMA, commonly known as plexiglass. It has excellent light transmittance and can transmit more than 92% of sunlight and 73.5% of ultraviolet rays. It has high mechanical strength and certain heat and cold resistance. , corrosion resistance, good insulation performance, stable dimensions, easy to shape, brittle texture, easily soluble in organic solvents, surface hardness is not enough, easy to scratch, can be used as 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, friction resistance, etc. This material is widely used in the production of advertising light boxes, nameplates, etc.

Plexiglass is widely used, not only in commerce, light industry, construction, chemical industry, etc. Moreover, plexiglass production is widely used in advertising decoration and 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, what kind of plexiglass, color, and variety should be tested repeatedly to achieve the best effect. Only with good shape design and careful processing can it become a beautiful handicraft.

1. Construction applications: showcases, soundproof doors and windows, lighting covers, phone booths, etc.

2. Advertising applications: light boxes, signboards, signs, display racks, etc.

3. Transportation applications: doors and windows of trains, cars and other vehicles

4. Medical applications: baby incubators, various surgical and medical instruments Civilian products: bathroom facilities, handicrafts, cosmetics, brackets, aquariums, etc.

5. Industrial applications: instrument surface panels and protective covers, etc.

6. Lighting applications: fluorescent lamps, chandeliers, street lampshades, etc.

7. Home applications: fruit bowls, Tissue boxes, acrylic art paintings and other household products

Plexiglass can be divided into four types according to its shape.

Colorless transparent plexiglass is the most common and most used plexiglass material.

Colored transparent plexiglass: commonly known as color plate. The light transmission is soft, and light boxes and handicrafts made of it make people feel comfortable and generous. There are three types of colored organic glass: transparent and colored, translucent and colored, and opaque and colored. The luster of magnetic plexiglass is not as bright as pearlescent plexiglass, and it is brittle and easy to break. It is suitable for making dials, boxes, medical equipment and modeling materials for people and animals. Transparent organic glass: high transparency, suitable for making lamps. The chandelier made of it is exquisite, crystal clear. Translucent plexiglass is similar to frosted glass, with soft reflection. Crafts made of it make people feel comfortable and generous.

Pearlescent plexiglass: It is made by adding pearlescent powder or phosphor powder to ordinary plexiglass. This type of plexiglass has bright color and high surface finish. After the outer form is hot-pressed by the mold, even if it is ground and polished, it still maintains the molded pattern, forming a unique artistic effect. It can be used to make figures, animal shapes, trademarks, decorations and promotional exhibition materials.

Embossed plexiglass: divided into transparent, translucent and colorless, brittle and easy to break. It is used in decoration such as indoor doors and windows. It has the characteristics of being light-transmissive but shape-proof. It is usually used indoors. Used as doors and windows to partition or separate rooms.
