PMMA/PC material performance profile in LED lampshade: The chemical name Poly polymethyl methacrylate is made by polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomer MMA. Abbreviated as PMMA, commonly known as acrylic and acrylic.
PMMA is a thermoplastic with a density of 1.19-1.20, high transparency, a transmittance of 91%-93%, 99% visible light, 72% ultraviolet light, light weight, and shatter resistance of ordinary silica glass. 12-18 times, the mechanical strength and toughness are more than 10 times greater than ordinary glass, the hardness is more than 2H before treatment, the surface hardness can reach more than 5H after surface strengthening, scratch resistance, outstanding weather resistance and aging resistance, Low temperature (-50-60°C) and higher temperature (below 100°C) have the same impact strength, good electrical insulation properties, arc resistance, stable chemical properties, and general chemical corrosion resistance. The common thickness of PMMA material is 0.65/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.5/2.0/3.0MM. In addition to transparent material, there are other colors to choose from. In addition, the surface of the sheet can be coated, and NI, CR, AL can be plated according to customer requirements Etc. The light transmittance is specified by the customer.
PC is the abbreviation of polycarbonate, the English of polycarbonate is Polycarbonate, PC engineering plastics for short. PC material is actually one of the engineering plastics we call. As a material widely used worldwide, PC has its own The characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of PC is an amorphous thermoplastic resin with excellent comprehensive performance. It has excellent electrical insulation, elongation, dimensional stability and chemical resistance, high strength, heat resistance and cold resistance. It also has the advantages of self-extinguishing, flame-retardant, non-toxic, colorable, etc. Its strength can meet various needs from mobile phones to bulletproof glass. The disadvantage is that it is insufficient in hardness compared with metal, which makes its appearance easier to scratch , But its strength and toughness are very good. The surface hardness of the PC material after surface treatment has been greatly improved, and the pencil hardness of the improved PC surface is generally about 2H. For this material, it is very good for LED lampshades
Because the above two materials have good light transmittance, the produced LED lampshades are very good, the surface is smooth and clean, there is no nozzle glue position around the product after processing, and the surface has no injection water marks. The pencil hardness of PMMA board can reach more than 5H , Not easy to break. Acrylic lens development cycle is short, from receiving the customer's drawings to the sample out of the fastest two or three days. There is no need to make molds, so it can be produced in small batches, and the product dimensions can be changed flexibly. It can also realize the processing and shaping of steps, assembly bayonet, earpiece hole position, and beauty line. Due to the above advantages, it is now being widely used in various high-end consumer digital products, such as mobile phone lenses, MP3/MP4 lenses, digital camera video camera lenses, signs and other digital products LCD\\TFT protective screens, automotive instruments, etc. Products whose surfaces need to be protected, such as video screens, and decorative windows or panels. After the PC material is processed, the surface can be made into various patterns such as CD pattern, hairline pattern, etc., which are widely used in mobile phone ultra-thin buttons and other decorative surfaces.
