Acrylic has excellent properties such as high transparency, light weight, abrasion resistance, and drop resistance, which are similar to plastics.




Acrylic is a kind of thermoplastic material. Plastic is a polymer compound with monomer as raw material, commonly known as plastic or resin. The connection between the two is that acrylic is a new type of plastic, but plastic is all monomers as raw materials through addition polymerization or condensation polymerization. Collective term for polymer compounds formed by polymerization. Plastics can freely change the composition and body style, and there are many types.




Difference between acrylic products and plastic products:




First, it depends on the transparency and freshness. The transparency is high, even more transparent than glass, which cannot be matched by plastics, and the color of acrylic is very bright, while the color of plastic products is darker, not as bright as acrylic.




Second, it depends on the smoothness and color of acrylic. There is a shiny luster under the light, crystal clear; the smoothness of the plastic products is poor, rough and will not shine under the light.
