Purchase performance, not plastic: Decrypt key performance parameters on wholesale quotes for transparent acrylic sheets
Faced with a list of wholesale prices for transparent acrylic sheets, it usually only includes size, thickness, and unit price. But as a professional, you know what you're really buying is performance. Two quotations with similar prices may result in vastly different performance of their products in practical applications. This article will explain three important performance parameters that are not often listed on the quotation, so that you understand what data to ask the factory for to ensure that you are buying a product that meets your expectations, not just a piece of "transparent plastic".
Transmittance: refers to the percentage of light passing through the board. Ordinary boards account for about 92%, while optical grade can exceed 93%. For every 0.5% increase, there is a noticeable difference in visual clarity, especially for high-end displays or lightboxes.
Haze: refers to the proportion of light scattering when passing through a board, resulting in a "hazy feeling". The haze of high-quality transparent board should be less than 0.5%. A high haze board is like a piece of glass that can never be wiped clean, which can seriously affect the brightness and clarity of the objects behind it.
Your action: When inquiring, directly ask: "What are the standard values and testing methods for light transmittance and haze of this batch of boards? (We follow ASTM D1003 standard)". We will attach typical values to the quotation.
These data determine the performance of the board under load and heat.
Bending modulus: measures the stiffness of a material against bending deformation. The higher the value, the less sagging of the board under the span. It is crucial for large-sized bookshelves and exhibition booth partitions.
Hot deformation temperature: The temperature at which a material begins to deform under a specific load. If your product may be placed in sunlight or near heat sources (such as lighting fixtures), the HDT value determines whether it will soften and deform.
Your action: Inform the factory of your application environment. For example: "I use it for outdoor billboards, where the surface temperature under direct sunlight in summer may reach 50 ° C (122 ° F). ”We will recommend boards with suitable HDT based on this and provide data reports.
Acrylic is known for its superior impact resistance compared to glass, but there are significant differences between different grades of sheets.
Key indicator: Izod Impact (notch). The higher this value, the stronger the material's ability to resist crack propagation, and the less likely it is for the entire piece to crack due to small bumps at the edges.
Application scenario: Used in densely populated public places, children's areas, or products that require transportation, high impact resistance is the guarantee of safety and durability.
Your action: Do not be satisfied with the qualitative description of 'impact resistance'. What is the typical Izod impact strength value of this material? Does it meet the standards of all your boards
