About acrylic
Acrylic is a chemical material. The chemical name “PMMA” belongs to polyacrylates, commonly known as “specially treated plexiglass”. In the application industry, acrylic raw materials generally appear in the form of particles, plates, pipes, etc.
GWELL as china pmma gpps sheet extrusion line manufacturer， Acrylic, also known as the special treatment of plexiglass, is a replacement product of plexiglass, made of acrylic light box has good light transmission performance, pure color, rich color, beautiful and flat, taking into account the two effects of day and night, long service life, does not affect the use and other characteristics, in addition, acrylic sheet and aluminum-plastic panel profiles, high-grade screen printing, etc. can be perfectly combined.
Characteristics of acrylic sheet
1. Excellent transparency
A colorless transparent plexiglass plate with a light transmittance of more than 92%. The lamp tube of the acrylic sheet, known as the artificial little sun’s solar lamp, is made of quartz because quartz can completely penetrate ultraviolet rays.
