The scientific name of Acrylic is PMMA (poly (methyl)-methacrylate). This is a type of plastic material derived from compounds in petroleum refining. This material comes in a wide variety of colors, from transparent to wood grain, and even in highlight colors.
In Vietnam, Acrylic is often called Mica, and is a decorative surface, pressed onto specialized engineered wood panels in the construction and production of furniture. This is a highly flexible, malleable plastic that is easy to shape products into a variety of designs.
An Acrylic sheet is usually composed of 3 layers, including an ABS plastic core, a transparent plastic layer and an outer finish to help provide scratch resistance and aesthetics for the product. This structure ensures that the Acrylic sheet may offer transparency, beautiful gloss, flat and smooth surface, and enhanced aesthetics and values to the interior products.
Features of Acrylic sheets
With an abundance of colors, high gloss, beautiful and bright surface, Acrylic sheets give users various choices. When using materials for interior design, you can combine monochromatic colors or metallic, wood grain Acrylic to create accents for your house’s living space.
With high durability, color persistence over time, and high-gloss surface, Acrylic will help bring your living space a luxurious, modern, green, clean and environment-friendly feeling with quick construction.
This material is resistant to both ultraviolet rays as well as high physical impacts during machining. The structure of the surface is anti-scratch, smooth and dust-free, making it easier for users to clean, and the deep mirror reflection gives us a feeling of expansion, creating a modern and luxurious space.
