Acrylic (plexiglass) is widely used, it can also be seen on aviation equipment, but like many other polymer materials, it is eroded by moisture in the air, which will cause certain aging of plexiglass sheet and have a certain impact on the performance of the sheet.

The results show that the water content of different thickness of plexiglass is similar. With the increase of thickness, that is, the weight of the sample increases, the water content decreases, and the corresponding tensile strength increases. The water content and moisture content of plexiglass increased with the increase of the time of placement, while the tensile strength decreased. With the increase of thickness, the short-term water absorption of plexiglass decreased, the water absorption was similar, and the increase of sample weight caused the decrease of short-term water absorption.

In modern home decoration, many people like to choose to use glass to decorate the doors and Windows of their homes. But is plexiglass similar to ordinary glass? In fact, this is not the case, so what is the difference between plexiglass and ordinary glass?

Glass also has inorganic and organic points, which has brought certain troubles to consumers, in the end is the use of plexiglass doors at home? Or use ordinary glass doors? How do you compare plexiglass with ordinary glass?

The raw material of plexiglass door is plexiglass, and plexiglass is a kind of polymer transparent material, its chemical name is called polymethyl methacrylate, generally referred to as PMMA, is polymerized by methyl methacrylate. It has many characteristics that ordinary glass does not have, such as:

1, aesthetic: the appearance of the plexiglass door is a mirror effect, no seams, no folds, exquisite technology, and rich color, strong aesthetic.

2, light transmission: the light transmission of plexiglass is very good, and its light transmission rate has been detected to 96%, and the projected light will be softer.

3, impact resistance: the impact resistance of plexiglass is more than 200 times that of ordinary glass, it is not a particularly strong external force, and there is basically no problem of breakage and breaking, and the safety is high.

4, long life: plexiglass can ensure that it will not fade after a long time of use, and the service life of the better quality sheet is as long as 6-13 years.

5, fire resistance: as a building decoration product, fire resistance is necessary, and plexiglass has good fire resistance, will not occur spontaneous combustion, and even has self-extinguishing.

Ordinary glass we contact more, it is a more transparent solid substance, the main component is silicon dioxide, is a non-metallic silicate material. Flat glass with light transmission, sound insulation, heat insulation, wear resistance, heat preservation, heat absorption, radiation and other properties, often widely used in building doors and Windows, walls and interior decoration and so on.
