What are the wide applications of acrylic in life?

Acrylic is transparent, light, heat-resistant, impact-resistant, and easy to form. Its forming methods include casting, injection molding, machining, thermoforming, etc. Especially injection molding and mold injection molding can be produced in batches with simple process and low cost.

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of mechanical equipment and processing technology, the quality and quantity of acrylic products have continued to improve, and their application scope has become more and more extensive. Especially with the advancement of science and technology, the application of the entire acrylic industry is closely related to your life.

1.Buildings

Acrylic is widely used in panels, exterior walls, canopies, doors and windows, etc. due to its excellent toughness and ultraviolet (UV) resistance. It also has good light transmission and thermal insulation properties, so it can also be used to build greenhouses. Acrylic (plexiglass) can also be seen in aquariums.

2.Lighting

Acrylic (plexiglass) is used in LED lamp design, which can produce good luminous effects. Its optical properties are also used in some lamps.

3.Car

Acrylic sheets are used for car windows, interior and exterior panels, fenders, and motorcycle windshields. Colored acrylic sheets are also used in car indicator lamp covers, indoor lamp covers, etc. Acrylic can also be used for shipbuilding (salt-resistant) and aviation purposes. Acrylic has good acoustic properties, formability and surface hardness, while also providing new design avenues for automakers.

4. Electronic products

Because of its excellent optical clarity, high light transmittance, and scratch resistance, it is widely used in LCD TVs, laptops, smartphones, and electronic device displays. Acrylic was developed as a protective material for solar panels due to its excellent UV resistance and excellent light transmittance.

5.Medical services

Acrylic is used to make incubators, drug testing equipment, hospitals and research laboratories due to its high purity and cleanliness. In addition, due to its good biocompatibility, it can be used as a filling and bone cement in dental cavities.

6.Furniture

Acrylic has special light transmittance, toughness, beauty and other properties, and can be processed into various shapes, such as chairs, tables, cabinets, bowls, placemats, etc.
