Acrylic board research and development and use, dating back more than and 100 years of history. 1880 methacrylate polymerization known; synthesis of poly ester propionic acid in 1901; in 1927 the use of synthetic method of methyl methacrylate industrialized manufacturing; in 1937 the successful development of industrial manufacturing, which entered the scale of manufacturing, because of its excellent strength and toughness and light transmittance, World War II applied to aircraft windshield, tank view mirror, making the mobile phone screen is the most common use of optical grade acrylic.
Acrylic board is mainly used for carving, decoration, arts and crafts production, extrusion type is usually used for advertising signs, light boxes and other production. PMMA has the advantages of light weight, low price and easy molding. Its molding methods are casting, injection molding, machining, thermoforming, etc.. In particular, injection molding, mass production, simple process, low cost. Therefore, it is widely used, it is widely used in instrumentation parts, automotive lights, optical lenses, transparent pipes, etc..
In the construction aspect, the organic glass is mainly used in the lighting body, the roof, the roof, the stair and the indoor wall guard board and so on. Organic glass in the highway and the road lighting and automotive lighting applications are also very fast. With the City restaurants, hotels and luxury residential construction, light body of the rapid development of the organic glass extrusion plates made of lighting with the overall structure of high strength, light weight, high light transmittance and good safety performance, compared with the inorganic glass lighting device has large superiority.
In terms of sanitary ware, organic glass can be made bathtubs, washbasin, make-up table and other products. The organic glass bathtub has been widely used because of its luxurious appearance, deep feeling, easy cleaning, high strength, light weight and comfortable use. Acrylic is the best after the ceramic sanitary ware can be made of new materials. Compared with the traditional ceramic materials, in addition to acrylic high brightness incomparable, has the following advantages: good toughness, not easy to damage; repair is strong, as long as you can with a soft foam dipped in toothpaste will wipe a new sanitary ware; soft texture, winter is not cold feeling; bright color, can meet the different tastes the pursuit of individuality. Made with acrylic basin, bathtub, toilet, not only exquisite style, durable, and has environmental effects, radiation and the radiation level of the body’s own bone is not much difference between. Acrylic ware first appeared in the United States, after 2008 has occupied more than 70% of the international market.
