What are the types of plexiglass sheets?

Plexiglass is a polymer compound formed by polymerization of methyl methacrylate. It is an important thermoplastic that was developed earlier. Plexiglass is divided into four types: colorless transparent, colored transparent, pearlescent, and embossed plexiglass.

Plexiglass is commonly known as acrylic, acrylic, and agri, and it has the advantages of good transparency, chemical stability, mechanical properties and weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing, and beautiful appearance. Cast plexiglass has a high molecular weight, excellent stiffness, strength and excellent chemical resistance. Therefore, it is more suitable for processing large-size identification plaques, and the time is slightly longer than that in the softening process.

They are characterized by small batch processing, unrivalled flexibility in terms of color systems and surface textures, and are available in a wide range of product sizes for a wide range of special applications. Compared with cast plates, extruded plexiglass has a lower molecular weight, slightly weaker mechanical properties and higher flexibility. However, this feature favors bending and thermoforming processes with short softening times.

When dealing with larger plates, it is beneficial for a variety of rapid vacuum blister molding. At the same time, the thickness tolerance of the extruded plate is smaller than that of the cast plate. Because the extruded plate is produced in large quantities, the color and specification are inconvenient to adjust, so the diversity of product specifications is limited to a certain extent.

Pearlescent plexiglass is made by adding pearlescent powder or phosphor to general plexiglass. This kind of plexiglass has bright color and high surface finish, and the outer form is hot-pressed by the mold, even if it is smoothed and polished, it still maintains the molded pattern and forms a unique artistic effect. It can be used to make human and animal shapes, logos, decorations and promotional exhibition materials.

Embossed plexiglass is transparent, translucent and colorless, brittle, easy to break, used in interior doors and windows and other decorations, with the characteristics of both light transmission but opacity, usually used in indoor partitions or indoor doors and windows.

Generally speaking, there are four types of plexiglass, which can be seen in the following introduction: colorless transparent plexiglass. This kind of application has a wide range of applications, so it is very common in both various commodity markets, and the volume is very large.

For example, if you don't need to add other colors when making a light box, you can use this kind of glass; If you want to set up transparent windows in the house, then you can also choose this kind of glass, and so on. Tinted transparent plexiglass. Because of the various colors added to it, it also has an alias, which is the color board.

If you need a tinted light box, then it is the right material to make the light box emit a soft light; In addition to light boxes, there are also all kinds of handicrafts, and so on. As long as you need to achieve a transparent and various shades, you can consider this kind of plexiglass, which is not only beautiful and generous, but also comfortable.

Ordinary boards are: transparent boards, dyed transparent boards, milky white boards, color plates; Special boards include: bathroom board, cloud board, mirror board, cloth plate, hollow board, impact board, flame retardant board, super wear-resistant board, surface pattern board, frosted board, pearlescent board, metal effect board, etc.

Different performance, different colors and visual effects to meet the ever-changing requirements. Pearlescent plexiglass. A special material, pearlescent powder, and phosphor are added to the mix, so that it can create a bright and smooth effect, and it can exude a pearl-like luster.

If you need to make decorations, or exhibits for corporate promotion, you can choose this glass. Embossed plexiglass. Some of the material is transparent, while others are translucent.

This type of plexiglass is very common for doors and windows, such as sliding doors in bathrooms, which can be made translucent, allowing you to see the outside light without revealing privacy.

Plexiglass, i.e. polymethyl methacrylate. Plexiglass, that is, polymethyl methacrylate, polymethyl methacrylate abbreviation code PMMA, also known as acrylic or plexiglass, has the advantages of high transparency, low quality, easy mechanical processing, etc., is the most excellent texture in the synthetic transparent material so far, and the most suitable and suitable varieties.

The advantages of plexiglass are as follows:1. Durability: The product has good protection for the built-in light source and prolongs the service life of the light source product;

2. Rationality: rational design, rainproof and moisture-proof, open structure, easy to maintain;

3. Impact resistance: 200 times that of glass products, almost no risk of breakage;

4. Light transmittance: up to 93%, excellent light transmittance, soft light;

5. Flame resistance: spontaneous combustion and self-extinguishing;

6. Aesthetics: The whole font is simple and fruitful, the base has no wrinkles, no seams, and all willow firmware is not exposed;

7. Energy saving: good light transmittance, corresponding reduction of light source products, and reduction of use cost.

1. Colorless transparent plexiglass. Colorless transparent plexiglass is the most common and most used type of plexiglass in real life. For example, you can usually see glass windows, glass coffee tables, glass doors, etc.

There is also the fact that the glass on some vehicles is actually colorless transparent plexiglass. Because this kind of glass is relatively strong in heat resistance and friction resistance, it is not only of good quality but also not easy to be damaged in the process of use.

2. Colored transparent plexiglass. Colored transparent plexiglass is commonly known as color plates, and in general, colored glass can be divided into three types: transparent colored and translucent colored and opaque colored. Because this kind of glass has good light transmittance, it is generally used to make light boxes and some handicrafts.

Whether it is a light box or a handicraft, after using this kind of plexiglass, it will give people a sense of grace and elegance and fashion. So now many homes can see colored transparent plexiglass decorations.

3. Pearlescent plexiglass. Pearlescent plexiglass can be made by adding pearlescent powder or phosphor to ordinary plexiglass. This type of plexiglass is relatively bright in color and has a particularly smooth surface and a smooth finish.

Compared with other plexiglass finch chains, pearlescent plexiglass also has patterns, so under normal circumstances, the use of this kind of plexiglass can form a more unique artistic effect. It can generally be used to create animals, people, or trademarks.

4. Embossed plexiglass. Embossing machine plexiglass is one of the more special types of plexiglass. This kind of glass can generally be divided into two types, namely transparent, translucent and colorless.

Compared to other types of plexiglass, embossed plexiglass is brittle and easy to break. Although it can be applied to indoor door and window decoration, if you do not pay attention to maintenance or collision, it is easy to break. Once broken, it should be replaced with new plexiglass in time.

FRP sheet, also known as GRP, is a plate made of glass reinforced plastic. In the production of FRP plates, glass fibers and resins are mixed and put into molds, which are processed and molded under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

According to different production processes and usage scenarios, FRP plates can be divided into the following types:

1.Hand laminated (hand-veneered) FRP: Due to the lower production cost, this type of FRP is suitable for some products that are less demanding and do not require super strength.

2.Vacuum blister type FRP plate: This type of FRP plate is very complex to make and needs to be molded by vacuum blister technology. It has the advantages of uniform density and high strength, and is suitable for some products with high requirements for strength and density.

3.Sprayed FRP plate: This type of FRP plate needs to first make the bedrock and then spray a layer of FRP glue on its surface. It has the advantages of good anti-corrosion performance and strong corrosion resistance, and is suitable for storage tanks, pipelines and equipment in some chemical, metallurgical and other industries.

4.Aluminum silicate FRP plate: Due to the use of aluminum silicate material, this type of FRP plate has the characteristics of good compressive performance and strong tension resistance after processing and molding, and is suitable for some bridges, tunnels and other construction projects.

In addition, according to different glass fiber ratios and use scenarios, FRP plates with different properties such as high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance can also be produced to meet the application needs in different fields.
