The research, development and use of acrylic sheets have a history of more than one hundred years. In 1880, the polymerizability of methacrylic acid was known; in 1901, the research on the synthesis of polypropionate was completed; in 1927, the aforementioned synthetic method was used to try industrial manufacturing; in 1937, the industrial manufacturing of methyl methacrylate was successfully developed, and it entered large-scale manufacturing. Because of its excellent toughness and light transmittance, it was used in aircraft windshields and tank vision mirrors during World War II. The most common mobile phone screens were made of optical-grade acrylic.
Acrylic sheets are mainly used for carving, decoration, and crafts. Extrusion type is usually used for advertising signs, light boxes, etc. PMMA has the advantages of light weight, low price, and easy molding. Its molding methods include casting, injection molding, machining, thermoforming and so on. Especially for injection molding, it can be mass produced, the manufacturing process is simple, and the cost is low. Therefore, its application is becoming more and more extensive. It is widely used in instrument and meter parts, automobile lights, optical lenses, transparent pipes, etc.
In terms of architecture, plexiglass is mainly used in lighting, roofs, roofs, stairs and indoor wall guards. The application of plexiglass in the lighting lampshades and automotive lamps of highways and high-end roads is also quite fast. With the construction of hotels, guesthouses and high-end residential buildings in big cities, lighting bodies have developed rapidly. The lighting bodies made of plexiglass extruded panels have the characteristics of high overall structural strength, light weight, high light transmittance and good safety performance. Compared with inorganic glass lighting devices, it has great advantages.
In terms of sanitary ware, plexiglass can be used to make bathtubs, washbasins, dressing tables and other products. Because the plexiglass bathtub has the characteristics of luxurious appearance, deep feeling, easy to clean, high strength, light weight and comfortable use, it has been widely used. Acrylic is the best new material for sanitary ware after ceramics. Compared with traditional ceramic materials, besides the unparalleled high brightness, acrylic has the following advantages: good toughness, not easy to break; strong repairability, as long as the soft foam is dipped in toothpaste, the sanitary ware can be wiped new; soft texture, winter There is no icy feeling; the colors are bright, which can satisfy the individual pursuit of different tastes. Basins, bathtubs, and toilets made of acrylic are not only exquisite in style, durable, but also environmentally friendly. The radiation is almost the same as the radiation of the human body's own bones. Acrylic sanitary ware first appeared in the United States, and after 2008 it has accounted for more than 70% of the entire international market.
Acrylic all kinds of fashion boutiques, such as leather bags, waist chains, watches, high heels, heels, hair accessories, brooches, bracelets, buttons, earrings, necklaces, rings, pendants, photo frames, texts, etc. have unlimited development Space for continuation. Because acrylic materials have high plasticity and good surface hardness and transparent luster, they are often used by designers to match various materials in various exquisite container designs to increase the texture and practicality of the container, such as lipstick and Exquisite containers such as chemicals, and other daily necessities such as massagers, jewelry boxes, fans, etc. Give play to the cool feeling of acrylic material, combined with creative design, make acrylic material perfectly presented in all kinds of popular products.
