Date:12-10-2022
Many times we will see particularly beautiful high-transparency products in showcases or art exhibits in shopping malls. Many times, it is difficult for us to distinguish whether it is a pvc ultra-transparent board or an acrylic board, and whether all transparent pvc thick boards can be used. Use acrylic instead, but it's not the case, it depends on the specific parameters and performance.

First of all, let's take a look at the material of the PVC transparent thick plate is polyethylene. According to the molecular material, it can be seen that the PVC thick plate has toughness, which is easier for secondary processing, strong toughness and easy to bend, and its impact resistance is higher than that of acrylic. Good fire performance and high safety factor.

Secondly, in terms of environmental protection and convenience, the PVC transparent thick plate is less environmentally friendly than acrylic due to the presence of chlorine. In terms of light transmittance, acrylic is relatively better than the PVC transparent thick ultra-transparent plate. Similar to glass, it can also reflect light, but the disadvantage of acrylic is that It is very fragile and easy to be damaged. It is useless if it is accidentally dropped on the ground. On the contrary, the PVC ultra-transparent board has a longer service life. For ultra-transparent pvc thick plates with a thickness of more than 15mm, the light transmittance can be close to that of acrylic, and its cost price is much cheaper than that of acrylic, so many companies will use ultra-transparent pvc thick plates instead of acrylic plates when choosing cost. , but not all uses acrylic can replace pvc transparent thick plate, the specific use should be determined according to the actual situation.
