What are the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic processed products?

     In modern life, acrylic processed products can be seen everywhere, from exquisite handicrafts to practical household items, from commercial display props to building decoration materials. It has won wide applications with its unique charm. Becoming a capable 'partner' in people's lives and production. However, just like everything has two sides, acrylic processed products also have their own advantages and disadvantages.

 Let's first understand the advantages of acrylic processed products:

     1.The advantages of acrylic processed products are very significant. Firstly, it has excellent transparency and is known as the "plastic crystal". Its light transmittance is extremely high, reaching over 92%, which means that the scene seen through the acrylic sheet is clear and natural, with almost no visual obstacles. In contrast, the transmittance of ordinary glass is generally between 80% and 90%, which is slightly inferior in transparency.

     2.Acrylic also has good processing properties. It can be made into various complex shapes through various processing methods, such as cutting, drilling, hot bending, carving, etc. This allows designers to fully unleash their creativity and transform their unique ideas into actual products. Acrylic can be processed into display stands with various shapes and smooth lines, perfectly highlighting the delicacy and high-end of jewelry, cosmetics and other products, attracting consumers' attention. Moreover, the acrylic processing process is relatively simple and has high production efficiency, which also reduces production costs to a certain extent.

     3.The durability of acrylic processed products is also quite good. It has good impact resistance and is less prone to breakage compared to ordinary glass. Even in the event of a certain degree of collision, it can effectively avoid the production of sharp fragments and reduce the risk of injury to personnel. In outdoor environments, acrylic exhibits good weather resistance, can resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays for a long time, is not easy to fade or age, and ensures the long-term beauty and performance of the product. Like large acrylic billboards outdoors, even after enduring wind, rain, and scorching sun, they can still maintain bright colors and clear images, continuously playing a promotional role.

 However, acrylic processed products are not perfect, and they also have drawbacks:
     1.Its surface hardness is relatively low and it is easy to be scratched. In daily use, if accidentally in contact with sharp objects, scratches may be left on the surface of acrylic products, affecting their appearance. For example, acrylic phone cases may have some minor scratches on the surface after a period of use.

     2.Moreover, acrylic has limited heat resistance and is prone to deformation in high-temperature environments. When the temperature exceeds 90 ℃, acrylic may undergo softening deformation, which limits its application in some high-temperature environments. For example, freshly cooked hot dishes cannot be placed directly on an acrylic dining table, as it may cause deformation of the tabletop.

     Acrylic processed products have many advantages such as high transparency, good processing performance, and durability, bringing convenience and beauty to our lives. But at the same time, it also has disadvantages such as easy surface scratches and poor heat resistance. When selecting and using acrylic processed products, we need to fully consider these advantages and disadvantages, and apply them reasonably according to actual needs to maximize their value.
