Acrylic is a plastic that looks like
glass. However, acrylic turns out to have properties that make it superior to
glass. One difference is the flexibility of acrylic. Acrylic is a material that
is not easily broken, lightweight, and also easy to cut, file, drill, grind,
polish or paint. Acrylic can be formed thermally into a variety of complicated
shapes.
Its break-resistant nature also makes
acrylic an ideal material for use in applications in places where the rupture
of the material will have fatal consequences, such as in submarine windows. In
addition to being break resistant and resistant to weather, acrylic also will
not shrink or change color even if exposed to sunlight for a long time. This
makes all acrylic products can be used indoors or outdoors.
Some properties possessed by acrylic:
* Clear and transparent
* Strong, flexible and durable
* Safe for food because microorganisms are unlikely to develop
* Can be made into various categories of forms that are very diverse
