Acrylic plate for acrylic fish tank – Classification Method and Types
1. Acrylic board has two kinds of type: casting plate and extrusion plate according to the production process, transparent plate, translucent plate (including dyeing plate, transparent plate) and color plate (including black and white and color plate) according to transmittance; it is the impact-resistant plate, ultraviolet resistant plate, ordinary board and special board, such as high impact resistant plate, flame retardant board, frosted plate, metal effect plate, high wear-resistant plate, light guide plate, etc.
A: Acrylic casting board: high molecular weight, excellent stiffness, strength, and excellent chemical resistance. Therefore, it is more suitable for processing large-size signboard, and the time is slightly longer in the softening process. This kind of acrylic plate with small-batch processing, incomparable flexibility in the color system, and surface texture effect and the product specification is complete, which is practical for various special purposes.
B: Extrusion plate: comparing with the casting plate, the acrylic extrusion plate has a lower molecular weight, weaker mechanical properties, and higher flexibility. However, this feature is conducive to bending and hot forming, and the softening time is short. It is beneficial to various kinds of rapid vacuum Blister molding when processing large-size plates. At the same time, the thickness tolerance of the extruded plate is smaller than that of the cast plate. Due to the large-scale automatic production of the extruded plate, not convenient to adjust the color and specification, so the diversity of product specifications has limits.
2. Acrylic plate for acrylic fish tank also has a kind of material recycling plate, which uses recycling acrylic leftover material. After a strict process, a pure MMA monomer can be obtained again. There is no difference in quality between the new synthetic monomer and the pure MMA monomer. However, the purity of the degradation monomer producing is not high, and the quality and performance of the board are very poor after forming.
Conclusion:
The acrylic extrusion plate uses granular raw materials after high-temperature dissolution. Although the extrusion plate is smooth in appearance, it can complete polymerization during the molding of granular raw materials. It is only suitable for indoor products such as crystal character or product bracket.
In addition, due to the fact that most extruded plates do not have UV protection function, their outdoor service life is not the same as that of cast plates, and the color will fade gradually and it is easy to be brittle until cracking. The casting plate is the structural polymerization in the process of plate processing, in which ultraviolet absorber is added, which has high strength and UV function. The outdoor service life is more than 5 years or even 10 years, and the color is always bright during the use.
