How to choose the right high-strength acrylic sheet? ——Guide to thickness, weather resistance and impact resistance
High-strength clear acrylic sheet is widely used in construction, transportation, advertising, home furnishing and other fields due to its excellent impact resistance, weather resistance and optical properties. However, different application scenarios have different requirements for the thickness, weather resistance and impact resistance of the sheet. As an industry-leading acrylic sheet manufacturer, Hangzhou Oleg International Trade Co., Ltd. combines 10 years of professional production experience to provide you with a scientific material selection guide.
1. Choose the right thickness
The thickness of the acrylic sheet directly affects its strength and application scenarios:
2mm-5mm: suitable for light-load scenarios such as advertising light boxes, display racks, and home decoration.
6mm-10mm: suitable for medium-strength requirements such as building curtain walls, sound barriers, and protective covers.
12mm and above: suitable for high-standard applications such as heavy protection, aquariums, and explosion-proof glass replacement.
OLEG acrylic sheet advantages:
We provide full-specification customization from 1mm to 100mm, using precision casting technology (Cast Acrylic Sheet) to ensure that the sheet thickness is uniform, without bubbles and deformation, in line with GB/T7134-2008 quality product standards, and meet the load-bearing requirements of different industries.
2. Weather resistance: Adapt to long-term outdoor use
Ordinary acrylic is prone to yellowing and brittleness under long-term ultraviolet radiation, while high-strength weather-resistant acrylic sheets must have:
UV protection: anti-UV coating or anti-UV material of the body to extend the service life.
Temperature adaptability: no deformation or cracking in an environment of -40℃ to 80℃.
Chemical corrosion resistance: resist corrosion from acid rain, detergents, etc.
OLEG solution:
Our acrylic sheets are made of high-purity MMA raw materials, and some products are added with anti-UV agents, which are suitable for harsh environments such as outdoor billboards, building skylights, and highway sound insulation screens, ensuring a service life of more than 10 years.
3. Impact resistance: the key to safety and durability
Compared to glass, acrylic has an impact resistance of more than 10 times, but different formulas and processes still affect its performance:
Ordinary acrylic: good impact resistance, suitable for interior decoration.
High-strength modified acrylic: through molecular optimization, stronger impact resistance, suitable for safety protection, police shields, etc.
OLEG technical guarantee:
Our production line adopts German imported technology, the internal structure of the board is tighter, and the impact resistance far exceeds the industry standard. Some products can pass the bulletproof test and are suitable for high-security fields such as military industry and transportation.
