A thorough explanation of the differences between the plastic materials "Acrylic" and "Polycarbonate."
It's too late to ask now! Introducing the features and applications of acrylic (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC)!
"Acrylic (PMMA)" is a type of acrylic resin that is lighter than glass, with a light transmittance rate of 93%, surpassing that of glass. Due to these characteristics, it is used in many optical lenses and other applications. Our acrylic products achieve high transparency in intricate shapes such as lens cuts through a unique polishing method, making them suitable for optical verification in inner lenses and similar applications. "Polycarbonate (PC)" has a different finishing process compared to acrylic products, allowing for relatively lower costs and shorter delivery times. Additionally, polycarbonate resin has superior impact resistance compared to acrylic resin. Our polycarbonate products can achieve high transparency finishes thanks to years of experience and knowledge. For non-transparent polycarbonate products, high gloss finishes are also possible. *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.*
