The difference between acrylic and plastic
l Different production methods
1. Acrylic: acrylic is also called plexiglass, which is made by glue injection or extrusion.
2. Plastic: plastic belongs to a kind of polymer compound, which can also be called resin to change its shape.
l Different glossiness and smoothness
Plastic products have poor smoothness, but acrylic products have good smoothness.
l Different features
1. Acrylic: it has good weather resistance and acid and alkali resistance, and will not cause yellowing and hydrolysis due to years of sunshine and rain; Long service life, longer than three years compared with other materials and products; Strong impact resistance
2. Easy Processing; High light transmittance
3. Plastics: most plastics are light in weight, stable in chemistry and will not rust; They have good transparency and abrasion resistance; Most plastics have poor heat resistance, high thermal expansion rate and are easy to burn; Poor dimensional stability and easy to deform
4. The color of plastic is relatively dark, and the smoothness of plastic products is relatively poor.
