Product Overview

It is possible to customize and cut plastic into appropriate sizes, and choose different colors and surface smoothness

Production process

The production process of casting acrylic usually includes the following steps:

Resin preparation: Firstly, mix PMMA resin with other additives to improve its performance, such as UV resistant agents, pigments, etc.

Mold preparation: Design and manufacture metal or glass molds according to the required shape and size.

Casting: Pour the mixed resin into the mold and fill the entire mold space.

Curing: The resin undergoes a heating and cooling process in the mold to solidify and form.

Demolding: After curing is complete, remove the formed acrylic part from the mold.

Post processing: Perform necessary polishing, buffing, and other post-processing procedures to achieve the desired surface quality and dimensional accuracy.

Characteristics and advantages

Optical performance: Cast acrylic has extremely high transparency and glossiness, with a light transmittance of over 92%, and is widely used in optical instruments and lighting equipment.

Weather resistance: It has strong resistance to ultraviolet radiation and climate change, is not easy to age or turn yellow, and is suitable for outdoor billboards and building decoration.

Mechanical strength: It has good impact resistance and toughness, is more durable and less prone to breakage than ordinary glass.

Processing performance: Easy to cut, drill, heat bend, and bond, suitable for various customized processing needs.

Environmental friendliness: PMMA material is recyclable and environmentally friendly.

Acrylic acid and its ester compounds have wide applications in industry, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Coatings and Coatings: Acrylic acid is an important raw material for producing various coatings. It can provide excellent weather resistance, glossiness, and adhesion, and is widely used in fields such as construction, automotive, and furniture.

Adhesives and sealants: Acrylic compounds are commonly used as the main components of adhesives and sealants due to their excellent bonding properties and durability. For example, acrylic adhesive is used in building materials, packaging, and electronic product assembly.

Textiles and Fibers: Acrylic acid can be used to produce fibers and textiles, endowing them with softness, elasticity, and anti-static properties. Acrylic fibers are commonly used in clothing, carpets, and decorative fabrics.

Plastics and resins: Acrylic acid can be used to synthesize various plastics and resins, such as polyacrylates, which have good transparency, weather resistance, and processability. These materials are widely used in the manufacture of optical lenses, lighting equipment, sanitary ware, and more.

Water treatment: Acrylic polymers can be used as coagulants in water treatment to help remove suspended solids and purify water quality.

Personal care products: acrylic acid and its derivatives are used as thickeners, stabilizers and emulsifiers in cosmetics and personal care products, such as shampoo, conditioner and lotion.

Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Materials: Acrylic compounds can be used to prepare medical adhesives, drug controlled release systems, and biocompatible materials.

Electronics and Electrical Industry: Acrylic materials are used in the electronics and electrical industry to manufacture insulation materials, circuit boards, and electronic component packaging materials due to their excellent insulation and heat resistance.

3D printing: Acrylic resin is a commonly used photosensitive resin material in the field of 3D printing, used to produce high-precision and smooth surface products.

In the field of environmental protection, acrylic acid can also be used as a synthetic adsorbent to remove heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from industrial wastewater.

Application Scenarios

Plastic products are classified according to their material quality. Different types of recyclable PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene) are commonly found in beverage bottles and plastic bottles, belonging to the relatively easy to recycle "No. 1" and "No. 2" plastics., It belongs to the "No. 3" plastic that is difficult to recycle. LDPE (low-density polyvinyl chloride) is used for plastic bags and films due to its complex ethylene recycling process due to the presence of chlorine elements. Although it is lightweight, it still has good recycling potential. PP (polypropylene) has a wide range of applications and high recyclability, making it a "No. 5" plastic. PS (polystyrene) is commonly used in disposable tableware, with high recycling costs and difficulty in recycling. PTH refers to other uncommon plastics, with varying levels of difficulty and methods of recycling. Promoting plastic recycling is crucial for environmental protection.
