Plexiglas is a strong, transparent thermoplastic material. It is used to make stained glass windows and glasses, advertising structures, household items (dishes, souvenirs), commercial equipment and sanitary ware. PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a highly transparent thermoplastic alternative to ordinary glass. It is often called acrylic glass.
Advantages of polycarbonate
Is particularly strong. Because of its impact resistance, polycarbonate (or polynex) is often used to make police shields, as well as reliable bulletproof glass for bank offices and official personal vehicles. Provides protection against UV radiation. Although polycarbonate sheets are highly light-conductive, they are also impervious to ultraviolet light and are a practical material for transparent structures. Polycarbonate sheets perfectly withstand all weather conditions, such as high or low temperatures, sunlight or precipitation. Polycarbonate can be called one of the most durable materials because it is difficult to decompose in organic conditions.
Advantages of plexiglass
The main advantages of Plexiglas are as follows:
Perfectly conducts light, which does not change over time and retains its original color.
Compared to ordinary glass, Plexiglas is very impact resistant.
Compared to ordinary glass, this material is much lighter, which means that additional constructions are not required when using it.
Plexiglas is moisture resistant, which makes it suitable for glazing yachts and making aquariums.
It must be recognized that plexiglass is an environmentally friendly material and does not emit any toxic substances when burned.
The material is perfectly thermoformable, which allows creating different shapes without damaging the optical properties.
It is frost-resistant and resistant to the external environment.
Since the material is environmentally friendly, it can be disposed of safely without worrying about the environment.
Top quality PMAA
PMMA is very resistant to cold and heat, and when heated it softens and becomes more plastic, which allows different shapes and easier processing of the material. Also suitable for hard plastics or plasticizers, is environmentally friendly and consists of non-toxic materials. PMMA does not emit any toxic substances during storage that could harm the human body and is not explosive, but the probability of ignition is high.It is scratch resistant, which is why it is often used for PVC windows or laminate floors. PMMA is characterized by high transparency and UV resistance is also an indisputable advantage, which allows colors to last for years.
