2025-10-21

In recent years, acrylic sheet has gained more and more popularity, mainly due to its excellent physical properties, good processing performance, and wide range of applications, as follows:

Superior physical properties

High light transmittance: The light transmittance of acrylic sheet can reach up to 92%, which is even clearer than ordinary glass. It can effectively transmit light and enhance the lighting effect, making it commonly used in situations requiring high transparency, such as display cabinets and lamp housings.

High impact resistance: Its impact resistance is more than ten times that of ordinary glass. A 3-millimeter-thick sheet is not easily broken even when hit hard by an adult. Even if it cracks, it won't shatter like glass, making it highly safe and suitable for applications such as automotive lighting and building facades.

Good weather resistance: After adding UV stabilizers, acrylic sheet can block 99% of ultraviolet rays, maintaining its color for up to 10 years without significant fading. It is not easily affected by sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature changes, making it suitable for outdoor advertising and building materials.

Good processing performance: Acrylic sheet can be processed through various methods such as laser cutting, thermoforming, and engraving, allowing for easy customization of different shapes and sizes to meet personalized needs. It can also undergo surface treatments like painting and film application to achieve diverse aesthetic effects, and is widely used in advertising production, signboards, decorative arts, and other fields.

Environmental advantages: Acrylic sheet is an environmentally friendly material, free of harmful substances, and safe for human use. It is also recyclable. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, its eco-friendly characteristics have made it more popular in the market.

High cost-effectiveness: Although the purchase price of acrylic sheet is about 35% higher than that of ordinary sheet, its long service life makes it cost-effective in the long run. For example, the Taishen acrylic sheet used in the Yanshan Rock Climbing Gymnasium for the Hangzhou Asian Games as a curtain wall and skylight can save a significant amount of maintenance costs.

Wide range of applications: Acrylic sheet is used in multiple industries. In the advertising industry, it can be used to make outdoor billboards and display cabinets; in the construction industry, it can be used for glass facades and windows; in the automotive industry, it can be used for car headlights and rearview mirrors; in the electronics industry, it can be used as protective shells and key panels. Its diverse application scenarios have also contributed to its widespread use.

Category	Common Product Examples	Core Storage Requirements	Taboos	Risk Warnings
Cleaning & Disinfecting	84 Disinfectant, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Drain Cleaner, Glass Cleaner	1. Store separately; keep acidic products (e.g., Toilet Bowl Cleaner) and alkaline products (e.g., 84 Disinfectant) at least 1 meter apart.	1.

		2. Seal original packaging and place in a cool, well-ventilated area.	2. Do not repackage in ordinary plastic bottles randomly.
		3. Store at a height of no less than 1.5 meters to prevent access by children.	3. Keep away from food and tableware.
Flammable & Volatile	Medical Alcohol (>70%), Kerosene, Lighter Fluid, Banana Oil (Amyl Acetate)	1. Keep away from open flames and power sources (e.g., sockets, switches).	1. Do not pile up in large quantities; do not store with oxidizers (e.g., bleach).	May ignite with sparks; excessive volatility can cause dangerous concentration levels in air, leading to explosion risks.
		2. Store at a temperature below 30°C and avoid direct sunlight.	2. Tightly seal the cap immediately after use; do not leave open.
		3. Store no more than 500ml at a time; use explosion-proof containers for repackaging.	3. Do not store long-term in transparent glass bottles.
Home Decoration	Paint, Coating, Adhesives (e.g., 502 Glue, Silicone Sealant), Wood Maintenance Oil	1. Seal and store in a well-ventilated, dry area with temperature controlled between 5-25°C.	1. Do not mix with food or daily necessities.	Some products contain volatile harmful substances and may deteriorate during long-term storage; flammable types pose fire risks when exposed to heat.
		2. Mark the opening date on leftover paint and use within 1 month.	2. Do not discard leftover paint randomly; dispose of as hazardous waste.
		3. Keep away from heat sources (e.g., heaters, stoves).	3. Prevent access by children to avoid accidental ingestion or skin adhesion.
Gardening & Agricultural	Chemical Fertilizers (nitrogen/phosphorus fertilizers), Insecticides, Herbicides, Plant Nutrient Solutions	1. Store separately in a cool outdoor area or a locked indoor cabinet.	1. Do not store with food or feed.	Accidental ingestion may cause poisoning; some products may trigger skin allergies upon contact; leakage may contaminate soil and water sources.
		2. Seal to prevent leakage and avoid moisture-induced caking.	2. Do not repackage in beverage bottles to prevent accidental ingestion.
		3. Keep away from water sources and pet activity areas.	3. Use promptly after opening to avoid loss of active ingredients.
