Acrylic products include acrylic plates, acrylic plastic granules, acrylic light boxes, signboards, acrylic bathtubs, acrylic artificial marble, acrylic resins, acrylic (latex) paint, acrylic adhesives, and many other products.
Acrylic products commonly seen by people are made of acrylic granules, plates or resins and other raw materials through a variety of processing methods and with various materials and functional parts. As for the commonly heard acrylic fibers, acrylic cotton, acrylic yarn, acrylic nylon, etc., it refers to man-made fibers polymerized by acrylic acid, and is not related to acrylic products.
Among them, it is often said that the acrylic sheet is polymethyl methacrylate (Polymeric Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) sheet, which is polymerized by "methyl methacrylate monomer Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)". Or it is made of acrylic granules extruded through a plate extruder. In the past, the board was commonly called plexiglass. Acrylic is derived from English acrylic, which means PMMA board made of organic compound MMA. Its transparency and light transmittance are like glass. All the plates derived from transparent plastics such as PS, PC, etc. or from inferior recycled MMA are collectively referred to as plexiglass. In order to distinguish, the PMMA board made of high-quality pure material MMA is named as acrylic board in order to distinguish it from the general plexiglass board.
