Acrylic (scientific name polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) is an organic polymer material with strong plasticity, high transparency and good weather resistance. With its unique physical and chemical properties, it is widely used in many fields. The following are its main use classifications and specific application scenarios:
I. Construction and decoration field
1. Lighting materials: Acrylic has a light transmittance of more than 92%, and its impact resistance is 10 times that of glass. It is often used to make building lighting panels, domes, skylights, greenhouse ceilings, etc., especially suitable for places that require lightweight and safety (such as shopping malls and gymnasiums).
2. Decorative elements: It can be processed into various colors and shapes, used for wall decorative panels, partitions, screens, stair handrails, column wrapping, etc., to create a modern, simple or artistic space atmosphere.
3. Logos and signs: Acrylic boards are made into shopping mall guide signs, store signs, and luminous characters (built-in LED lights) through cutting, engraving, silk screen printing and other processes. They are colorful, wind and rain resistant, and have a long life.
II. Advertising and display fields
1. Billboards and light boxes: Acrylic boards are suitable for making large outdoor billboards and light box panels because they are resistant to UV aging (can be used for a long time after adding anti-UV agents) and have uniform light transmittance, which can enhance the visual effect of advertising content.
2. Display props: such as acrylic cosmetics display racks, jewelry counters, mobile phone experience tables, and cultural relics display covers in shopping malls, which use their high transparency to highlight exhibits while also having protective functions.
3. Signs and display boards: Guidance signs in offices, hospitals, airports and other places, as well as activity display boards, are often made of acrylic, which is both beautiful and durable.
III. Home and daily necessities fields
1. Furniture: Acrylic tables and chairs, bookshelves, coffee tables, storage boxes, etc., have become popular choices for simple style homes with their transparent texture and modern design sense; some furniture will also be used in combination with metal, wood and other materials.
2. Daily necessities: acrylic coasters, acrylic vases, acrylic photo frames, mirror frames, acrylic bathroom storage racks, etc. Acrylic materials are waterproof, easy to clean, and can be made into a variety of colors and shapes to meet personalized needs.
3. Lamps: lampshades, lamp posts, etc., use their light transmittance to diffuse light and create a soft lighting effect, commonly seen in chandeliers, wall lamps, table lamps, etc.
IV. Art and creative fields
1. Artworks and sculptures: Artists often use acrylic sheets for cutting, stacking, and dyeing to create modern sculptures and installation art, using their light transmittance and color expression to create unique visual effects.
2. Handicrafts: Handmade earrings, necklaces and other accessories, or DIY creative ornaments. The easy processing characteristics of acrylic make it suitable for individual or small batch production.
V. Transportation and outdoor fields
1. Transportation parts: motorcycle windshields, car taillight covers, subway or high-speed rail interior transparent panels, etc., need to be impact-resistant and weather-resistant, and acrylic is one of the ideal materials.
2. Outdoor facilities: park signs, bus station light boxes, outdoor awnings, etc., can withstand wind, rain, and ultraviolet erosion, and have a long service life.
