Acrylic
has widely spread in the market with diversity in products and uniqueness in
designs. Acrylic plastics replace glass as they have much better quality and
durability. But within acrylic plastics, there are many different types of
qualities as well. Not all acrylic are equal. There can be a low-quality that
will be less clear and resistant and there can be a high-quality acrylic that
will be much better in comparison. Because of this reason, this material has a
variety of different names too Acrylic material is available under many
different names: Pixelglass, Acylite, and Lucite are the most famous ones.
Lucite is also an acrylic but it is better in terms of quality and it the
trademarked version of acrylic invented in 1937 by DuPont. Basically, Lucite is
the best form of acrylic in the market. Some of the features that make it
better than other acrylic products are:
Appearance:
Lucite has the quality of being crystal clear.The products made from acrylic Lucite are seamless. The major point of differentiation
in Lucite and other acrylics is that cheaper acrylics have a noticeably
plastic-like feel and look. Whereas Lucite gives a crystal and glass feel.
Designs and customization:
Lucite is a very mallable material and has withstanding strenth as well. It can be used to creat customs designs and can ve moulded in very unique designs as well. It can also be worked with various colors.
Characteristics:
Lucite products have thicker sheets of acrylics and are high-grade in quality. This makes Lucite more durable than a normal or low-grade acrylic.
Lucite is the best version of Acrylic. It takes acrylic to the next level of quality, luxury and appearance. The various advantages Lucite possesses in relation to other acrylics make it pricier than the others. The safety, durability, weightlessness and malleability of Lucite make it a superior option for deluxe home furniture.
Tempered glass is safety glass. Toughened glass is a kind of prestressed glass, in order to improve the strength of the glass, the methods commonly used in chemistry or physics, formed on the surface of glass glass under compressive stress, first offset surface stress force, so as to improve the bearing capacity of reinforced glass, its wind, cold, impact etc.. Note that apart from the difference of glass steel.
Advantage
Compared with ordinary glass bending strength increased by 1. times.
2. the use of safety, its carrying capacity increased to improve the fragile nature, even tempered glass damage will not have acute angle pieces, the harm to the human body is greatly reduced. Toughened glass resistance to 3~5 times to improve thermal properties than ordinary glass, can withstand temperature above 250 degrees, to prevent thermal breakage has obvious effect. Is a kind of safety glass. Provide qualified material safety as security for the protection of high-rise building.
The disadvantages of toughened glass:
After the 1. toughened glass can then be cut and processed only in the tempered before processing to the shape of the glass, and then tempered.
2. Although the strength of toughened glass than ordinary glass, but glass has a self destruct (their rupture) the possibility that the possibility of ordinary glass does not exist and.
3. of the surface of tempered glass are uneven phenomenon (wind, spot) slightly thinner. The reason is because the thin glass in hot melt after softening, after a strong wind to the rapid cooling, the glass crystal gap becomes smaller, so the pressure is larger than in the glass after tempering before tempering to thin. General 4~6mm glass in tempering after thinning of 0.2~0.8mm, 8~20mm in 0.9~1.8mm after thinning toughened glass. According to the specific degree of equipment to decide, this is not the reason of toughened glass mirror.
4. through the tempering furnace (tempering) flat glass after building, will generally have the deformation, the deformation degree is decided by the process of equipment and technical personnel. To a certain extent, affecting the decorative effect (except special needs).
