PVC lampshade material and acrylic lampshade difference

pvc lampshade advantages and disadvantages

PVC refers to a material. PVC is a polymer of vinyl, and its material is an amorphous material. PVC materials are often added to the actual use of stabilizers, lubricants, auxiliary processing agents, colors, impact agents and other additives. It has non-flammability, high strength, resistance to climate change and excellent geometric stability.

PVC has a strong resistance to oxidants, reducing agents and strong acids. However, it can be corroded by concentrated oxidizing acids such as concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid and is not suitable for contact with aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Acrylic, also known as Plexiglass, is a polymer polyester compound, chemical and physical properties are very stable, is an emerging thermoplastic material in recent years, the main characteristics are: high light transmittance, transparency is also very good, good weather resistance and shaping performance, so it is favored by many processing plants, like the acrylic lamp shade made by Lian Zheng light transmittance is very good!

PVC is the abbreviation of Polyvinyl chloride polymer, also known as polyvinyl chloride, is a thermoplastic resin polymerized by vinyl chloride under the action of an initiator, and is also a polymer compound, the main characteristics are: High hardness, stable to organic and inorganic acids, alkali and salt, not easy to be corroded by acid and alkali and other substances, semi-transparent, mainly made into various industrial pipes and protective films.

Through the above understanding of the properties of acrylic and PVC, it can be seen that acrylic is better than PVC transparency, acrylic is not as resistant to acid and alkali corrosion as PVC, but acrylic is stronger than PVC weather resistance, so when distinguishing acrylic lampshade and PVC lampshade, you can first look at the transparency of the two, the highest transparency is acrylic. If the transparency is not difficult to distinguish, you can pinch the two with your nails, and there are traces of PVC, because the PVC surface is not so hard as acrylic, and now many acrylic surfaces are coated more not easy to be scratched, through the above points can be very easy to distinguish acrylic lampshade and PVC lampshade!
