The difference between plexiglass and acrylic
Raw materials, light transmittance and use, specifications and thickness, etc.

1. raw material: the main raw material of acrylic board is MMA (methyl methacrylate). This material endows acrylic board with unique physical and chemical properties. PMMA contains not only MMA, but also PS (polystyrene), PC (polycarbonate) and other materials. This diversified combination of raw materials makes plexiglass show different characteristics in performance and application.

2. Light transmittance and use: The light transmittance of acrylic board is very high, up to 92%, which makes it perform well in occasions that need high transparency, such as high-grade and exquisite display items, mobile phone display racks, jewelry display racks, etc. Its transparency is excellent, and its feel and texture are good, giving people a feeling of high-grade elegance. The transmittance of plexiglass is relatively average, and it is mostly used in occasions with low transparency requirements, such as light boxes and small flat panel displays, such as plexiglass data boxes and business card boxes.

3. Specification and thickness: Acrylic board is usually heavy, and the thickness is often above 0.5MM, which is more advantageous in applications requiring strong structural support or durability. Plexiglass is often light and thin, which is suitable for making portable exhibits or decorations.
