How Much Do You Know About Acrylic On Panel?
In the market, there are all kinds of panels, one is called acrylic panel. These panels are made up from acrylic. But, how much do you know about acrylic on panel?
Acrylic on panel, is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid that is composed of a vinyl and a carboxyl. Pure acrylic is colorless and clear liquid, from which the smelly gas will come out. It is immiscible with water, mellow wine and chloroform and is produced from the propylene produced in the oil refinaries. It is inflammable, and form into explosive compound with the combination of steam and air, which will explode in the terms of light and high temperature. It reacts explosively with oxidizers. When faced high temperature, it will be polymerizing and give out much heat and result in the fracture even explosion of the containers.
Acrylic on panel and a series of related products have been widely used in recent years. Some products, such as ethene, propylene, chloroethylene and acrylonitrile, etc, have been the important raw materials of macromolecular chemical industry. Regarded as the monomer of macromolecular compound, it is produced at a great amount of over a million tons in the world, and the amount of compound and the copolymer produced from acrylic is near 500 tons. It and its ester can be provided for organic synthesis and synthesis of polymers, but it is almost used for synthesis of polymers and the production of synthetic resins of all functions, functional polymer materials and all kinds of auxiliaries when it is polymerizing with EVA, styrene and methyl methacrylate. Now, it is widely used in these industries, such as paintings, plastics, textile, leather, papermaking, building materials and packing materials, etc.
These products made up from acrylic are popular among consumers, like acrylic panels. They are better than the traditional panels. To begin with, they are colorless and still greatly transparent even with a great thickness. Secondly, they have a strong ability of adjusting to environment and resistance to aging. Neither fierce sunlight nor heavy rains will change their quality outdoors. Besides, they have a good ability of processing. They can be changed easily when heated and are also used for machining. Moreover, they have a great synthesis performance of product performance. They can be painted, screen printed and vacuum coated on the surface. Additionally, the coefficient linear expansion of their cast sheets is about7x10-5m/m.K. At last, they are nontoxic. They will do us no harm even though we touch them for a long time. Even though they are burning, no toxic gases appear.
With the development of new technology, more functions of acrylic on panel definitely will be found out.
