A: Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, mainly need to consider the usage and environment, the following is a comparison table between acrylic and PC for your reference:
| ITEM | PMMA (Acrylic) | PC (Polycarbonate) |
| Proportion | 1.19 | 1.2 |
| Impact resistance | Fragile | 30 times stronger than acrylic |
| Transmittance | 92% | 88% |
| Processing temperature | Under 80°C | Under 120°C |
| Water absorption | 0.3~0.4% | 0.1~0.2% |
| Under prolonged UV light exposure | Not easy to yellow |
easy to yellow, Need to add UV absorber layer |
| Flame retardant degree | Low (UL 94 level HB) | High (UL 94 level V0) |
| Selling cost | Ordinary | More Expensive |
Q: What are the advantages of acrylic PMMA?
Transmittance(ASTM D1003)
Rockwell hardness (ASTM D785)
Heat distortion temperature (ASTM
D648)
Bending strength (ASTM
D790)
Weatherability - the extent to which the color changes with exposure time
The extent to which the flexural strength of PMMA varies with exposure time

Gift Box Application
Acrylic gift boxes are transparent and modern. Transparent acrylic materials can clearly display gifts, increase the visual appeal of gifts, and at the same time enhance the sense of value and quality of gifts.
Kaleidoscope Application
Take the kaleidoscope, for example, which often provides children and adults with a wonderful visual experience, allowing people to enjoy the changes in colors and patterns. In addition, it can also demonstrate the characteristics of light and teach students about the principles of light refraction and reflection.
Counter Display Application
Acrylic display stands are a common tool for displaying and displaying products. They are widely used in commercial environments. They can display various commodities such as commodities, product samples, stationery, jewelry, cosmetics, mobile phones and electronic products to enhance the value of products.
LED Light Application
By placing the LED light strip inside the acrylic tube rod, the light will be refracted and reflected multiple times inside the acrylic tube rod, making the light scatter more evenly on the entire surface of the acrylic tube rod, thereby creating a Soft and even lighting effect.
Storage Application
Acrylic material has many applications in storage. Its transparency and modern feel make it a popular storage option, allowing you to clearly see the contents of the box, making it easy to quickly find what you need, such as fish Standard storage tube, incense tube, drill bit packaging tube...etc.
