What isorganic glass? Organic glass is actually a chemically synthesized substance, and it also has a name, methyl methacrylate. Most people would call it plexiglass. Plexiglass is synthesized from a resin raw material and is considered a kind of plastic at work. Plexiglass is relatively light, but it is very hard and can be used in many places. And plexiglass also has a common name called acrylic, I believe many people have heard of it.

The transparency of plexiglass is very good. Experiments show that more than 92% of sunlight can pass through. At the same time, the hardness is very high and will not be easily crushed. It is also suitable for plexiglass in places such as car lights. The corrosion resistance of organic glass is also very good, it will not age in a short period of time, and the price of organic glass is also relatively close to the people. So what are the characteristics of organic glass?

1. High transparency

　　organic glassIt is considered to be an excellent polymer transparent material. The solar tube of the artificial sun is made of quartz (because quartz can completely transmit ultraviolet rays). Ordinary glass can only pass through 0.6 & ultraviolet rays, while plexiglass can pass through 73%.

2. High mechanical strength

The relative molecular number of organic glass is about 2 million, which is a long-chain polymer compound, and the molecules formed by the chain are very soft. So plexiglass, after all, high strength, tensile, impact resistance is 7-18 times higher than ordinary glass.

There is a kind of organic glass that has been heated and stretched, even if the nail penetrates the organic glass, it will not crack. Therefore, the stretched plexiglass can be used as a cockpit cover for military aircraft.

3. Light weight

　　organic glassThe density is 1.18g/cm3. The same size of the material, the weight is only half of ordinary glass!

4. Easy to process

Organic glass can not only be cut by lathes, drill holes can be drilled, but also can be bonded into various shapes with imitation tools, and can also be processed into various products by plastic molding methods such as blow molding, injection and extrusion, from aircraft canopies to small dentures and dental trays.

Organic glass is widely used, not only in light industry, commerce, chemical industry and other fields, but also in advertising decoration, sand table model and so on.
