The manufacturing process for acrylics is relatively simple, ‌ MMA is first mixed with a proportion of a polymerization initiator, ‌ it is then converted into a solid material by a polymerization reaction.

 

Acrylic is a plastic material ‌ also known as plexiglass. ‌ It is made from methyl methacrylate (‌MMA) ‌ as the main raw material. ‌ The manufacturing process for acrylics is relatively simple, ‌ MMA is first mixed with a proportion of a polymerization initiator, ‌ it is then converted into a solid material by a polymerization reaction. ‌ During the polymerization process, ‌MMA molecules are connected to form polymer chains, ‌ to form the acrylic material.

Acrylic has many advantages, ‌ including good transparency, ‌ chemical stability and weather resistance, ‌ and easy dyeing and processing characteristics. ‌ In the construction industry, ‌ acrylic is widely used because of its beautiful appearance and excellent performance.

 

In general, ‌ acrylic is an important plastic polymer material, ‌ because of its unique properties and a wide range of applications are favored.
