Is plexiglass the same as acrylic?

Plexiglass has been widely used in coastal areas, but its application in inland areas is still relatively small, and many people have great misunderstandings about plexiglass. When it comes to plexiglass, many people associate it with glass. Except for transparency, it is really different from glass.

Plexiglass is a kind of synthetic polymer with high adhesion. Its scientific name is pmma, and its English name is Acrylic, transliteration is acrylic, acrylic and acrylic. It has the characteristics of high transparency, light weight and high toughness, and is widely used, such as pipes, rods and plates, while pipes and rods are cast and extruded. Adding pigments to plexiglass materials can make colored plexiglass with various colors.

Ordinary glass is fragile and has low toughness, and its main component is silicon dioxide. Plexiglass can basically replace ordinary glass, but ordinary glass is not competent for plexiglass.
