In our lives, we often hear about products made of two materials, plexiglass products and acrylic. As we all know, plexiglass and acrylic processed products have beautiful appearance and are two materials commonly used in home decoration today. However, many friends do not understand them. What is the difference? Let’s take a look at the difference between plexiglass products and acrylic?
The difference between plexiglass and acrylic

In order to avoid confusion and mistakes, the company calls its product name acrylic board. Some friends mistakenly regard the transparent plastic board as plexiglass. We should also call PMMA material acrylic board. Acrylic or acrylic.
2. Polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) casting plate has a higher molecular weight, so this type of product has better rigidity and crack resistance and is often used for processing Large size signage. In addition, this type of cast plate is widely used for small batch production of plates of different colors. Low molecular weight, high flexibility extruded sheets are suitable for vacuum plastic forming. The extruded plate can better control the thickness of the plate, making it easier to produce black and white plates in large quantities.
3.Acrylic boardAccording to the surface gloss, it can be divided into pure transparent board, colored transparent board and translucent board (such as milky white) and opaque boards (such as colored boards), which can be divided into flower boards, mercerized boards and frosted boards (also known as sand boards).
