We are very familiar with PVC and acrylic materials, which are often used in our daily life, such as makeup lipstick organizer, mobile accessories display rack, etc. However, many people think that the two materials of acrylic and PVC are basically the same, but these two materials are still very different. What is the difference between acrylic and PVC boards?
1. Transparency and environmental protection: The environmental protection of acrylic (PMMA) is better than that of PVC. Some manufacturers of PVC may add plasticizers (plasticizers) to their formulations. If the choice of plasticizer is not good, it will be harmful to the human body.
2. Transparency: The transparency of acrylic (PMMA) is better.
3. Price: The raw material of PVC is cheap, and the raw material of acrylic (PMMA) is expensive.
4. Color: PVC board has poor stability and is easy to decompose during processing. Generally, the background color of acrylic with the same color will be more yellow.
5. Density: The density of the transparent PVC board is 1.38g/cm3, and the density of the acrylic board is 1.1g/cm3; the same size, the PVC board is slightly heavier.
6. Sound: Use two boards with the same area to throw light on the floor or tap with your hands. The sound is acrylic. The dull thing is PVC.
7. Burning and smelling: The flame is yellow when the acrylic is burned, smelling of alcohol and smokeless. When the PVC board burns, the flame is green, has the smell of hydrochloric acid, and emits white smoke.
