Machine glass is actually a chemically synthesized substance, and it also has a name, methyl methacrylate. Some people mistakenly think that plexiglass is glass, but in fact, organic glass is synthesized from resin materials. The characteristics of plexiglass are as follows:
1. High transparency
Plexiglass is an excellent transparent polymer material. The small artificial fluorescent tubes are manufactured at the right time (because they can completely transmit ultraviolet light at the right time). Ordinary glass can only transmit 0.6-ultraviolet rays, but organic glass can transmit 73%.
Second, high mechanical strength
The relative molecular weight of plexiglass is about more than 2 million. It is a long-chain polymer compound. The chain forming the molecule is very soft. Therefore, the strength of plexiglass is very high after all, and its tensile strength and impact resistance are higher than ordinary glass. -18 times.
Three, light weight
The density of plexiglass is 1.18 g/cm3, and the weight of the same size material is only half of ordinary glass!
Four, easy to process
Plexiglass manufacturers can not only cut with a lathe, drill with a drilling machine, but also be bonded into various shapes by imitation, etc., and can also be processed into airplanes by plastic molding methods such as blow molding, injection, and extrusion. Cockpit covers, various products as small as dentures and brackets.
