Acrylic Sheets : An Overview

ACRYLIC SHEETS AN OVERVIEW What Is an Acrylic? Acrylic is the term used to describe the family of human-made or synthetic plastic materials that contain one or more derivatives of the acrylic acid. One of the most common acrylic plastic is none other than polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). O Transparent Interesting Features of Acrylic Sheet Impact Resistant > Weather Resistant Chemical Resistant Manufacturing Plastic acrylic sheet is formed when a monomer (like methyl methacrylate) reacts with a catalyst (commonly organic peroxide). Once the catalyst begins the reaction, it enters to let it continue without becoming a part of the polymer itself. The process of bulk polymerization is used to form a sheet of the material. Benefits of Using a Plastic Acrylic Sheet They Are Eco- Friendly They Are Easy to Use ECO They Are UV Resistant They Are Flexible II They Are Heat Resistant IZ They Are Dishwasher Safe They Are Affordable Stronger Replacement of Glass Common Applications Acrylic sheets are very moldable materials. They are quite lightweight in nature as well as have very high impact resistance. Acrylic sheets combine the high impact resistance with the superior optical clarity to be useful in an extensive range of operations.
