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.

Aquatic Applications

Acrylic is a common material for aquariums, especially its transparent nature, which provides better visual effects and makes it easier to view aquatic creatures and conditions. Acrylic’s light transmittance and weight are better than glass, so it is often used as glass replacement of.

Algae Cultivation Application

Acrylic material has excellent transparency and can be used as the main material of algae culture tanks. It can provide good light transmittance, enable photosynthesis to proceed efficiently, and contribute to the growth and reproduction of algae.

Fence Design Application

This design uses acrylic materials to build fences, replacing traditional brick walls. Its transparent or translucent characteristics allow light to pass through and produce unique visual effects. Although the acrylic fence is transparent, its The materials are generally strong and durable, with good resistance to pressure and impact. This makes it no less safe than traditional fence materials.

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.

Air Delivery System Application

It is a system that uses compressed air to transmit files or objects, which can reduce manual operations and material handling while ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of transmission.
