What are the main applications of acrylic sheets

 The research, development, and use of acrylic sheets have a history of over a hundred years. In 1880, the polymerizability of methyl acrylic acid became known to people; The synthesis and research of poly (propionic acid) esters were completed in 1901; In 1927, attempts were made to industrialize manufacturing using the aforementioned synthesis method; In 1937, the industrial manufacturing and development of methyl methacrylate was successful, leading to large-scale manufacturing. Due to its excellent strength, toughness, and transparency, it was used in aircraft windshields, tank vision goggles, and other applications during World War II. The most common mobile phone screens were made of optical grade acrylic.

Acrylic board is mainly used for carving, decoration, and handicraft production. Extrusion type is usually used for the production of advertising signs, light boxes, etc. PMMA has the advantages of light weight, low cost, and easy molding. Its molding methods include casting, injection molding, mechanical processing, thermoforming, etc. Especially injection molding, it can be produced in large quantities, with a simple process and low cost. Therefore, its application is becoming increasingly widespread, widely used in instrument parts, car lights, optical lenses, transparent pipelines, etc.
In terms of architecture, organic glass is mainly used for daylighting, roofs, canopies, stairs, and indoor wall cladding. The application of organic glass in lighting lampshades and automotive lighting fixtures for highways and high-end roads is also quite fast. With the construction of hotels, guesthouses, and high-end residences in big cities, the development of daylighting systems has been rapid. Skylighting systems made of organic glass extruded panels have the characteristics of high overall structural strength, light weight, high light transmittance, and good safety performance. Compared with inorganic glass daylighting devices, they have great advantages.
In terms of sanitary ware, organic glass can be used to make products such as bathtubs, washbasins, and dressing tables. Due to its luxurious appearance, depth, easy cleaning, high strength, lightweight, and comfortable use, organic glass bathtubs have been widely used.
