What are the advantages of acrylic lenses?
Jul 24, 2020
Acrylic lens is a special organic material, the internal structure is chain-like, there are polymer composite materials, most of them are meshed, the gaps between the molecules are also very sparse, and they are simply displaced, but the light transmission of plastic lenses The function is very good, but the resistance of things with greater impact is very weak. It is a mixture of various polymer compounds, so each has a different melting point. It is widely used in light industry and heavy industry. Of course, it is also common in daily life, and it is very broad in all aspects.
The following are the advantages of acrylic lenses
1. Lightweight, 1/2 lighter than the same thickness of glass;
2. Bright colors and high brightness are not comparable to other materials;
3. Strong impact resistance, 16 times that of ordinary glass, suitable for installation in areas with special requirements for safety;
4. Acrylic lenses are non-toxic, harmless even if they are in contact with people for a long time, and no harmful gas will be generated when burned;
5. Good weather resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and will not cause yellowing and hydrolysis due to years of sun and rain;
6. Strong plasticity, great shape change, simple processing and forming.
7. Good transparency, with a light transmittance of 92%, and has the reputation of "plastic water products";
8. Acrylic lens has good insulation function and is suitable for various electrical equipment;
Acrylic lenses have many characteristics: the density is extremely low, the molecules within a fixed volume are extremely small, and the specific gravity is very low, so its mass is very small. This is much better when it comes to glass lenses; the appearance of hardness is low, and it is simple to damage , So basically it will be hardened, but the hardness of the glass can not be reached, so it still needs to be carefully maintained; it can be used for radiation protection through special processing, and it will have the function of discoloration; plastic lenses The processability is very good, it can be processed with or without borders, and it can also be dyed.
