Which is better, acrylic sheet or organic glass? Choose Zhejiang Yifang Quality Assurance based on application scenarios
Currently, which is better, acrylic sheet or organic glass?
As mentioned earlier, the two are the same material. But sometimes in the market, different names are habitually used according to different application scenarios. To help you make a better choice, we will compare from a practical application perspective:
Reason for recommending names for application scenarios
Common terms in the advertising lightbox and signboard acrylic industry, suppliers are more familiar with them
Display shelves and cabinets made of acrylic have high transparency and are aesthetically pleasing
Fish tank and aquarium organic glass are traditional terms that emphasize strength and safety
Architectural skylights, partitions, and organic glass are commonly used names in the construction industry
Crafts, photo frames, acrylic fashion, modern
Industrial protective covers, mechanical panels, and organic glass emphasize engineering properties
No matter what you call it, Zhejiang Yifang can provide high-quality PMMA sheets. We suggest using "PMMA" or "acrylic (organic glass)" directly for communication during procurement, and specifying parameters such as thickness, size, color, etc.
Production Process of Zhejiang Yifang Factory
The production process of Yifang Factory takes into account both extrusion and casting methods to meet different thickness requirements:
Extrusion line: suitable for 1-6mm thin plates with a thickness tolerance of ± 0.1mm, suitable for large-scale applications such as advertising and photo frames.
Casting line: suitable for thick plates of 3-50mm, with low internal stress, suitable for load-bearing components such as fish tanks, furniture, and mechanical protection.
Special varieties: can produce UV resistant boards (outdoor use for 3-5 years without yellowing), flame retardant boards (UL94 V-2/V-0), anti-static boards, etc.
Order shipment and packaging
According to the thickness and quantity of the board, Yifang adopts differentiated packaging:
Thin sheet (≤ 3mm): can be rolled or laid flat, with paper isolation on each layer, and an additional cardboard box or wooden pallet.
Medium and thick plates (4-10mm): laid flat and stacked, buffered with foam plates every 10 pieces, corner protection at four corners, packed with wooden pallets.
Thick plate (≥ 12mm): single or a small amount of stacked, fully enclosed wooden box+internal foam filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is acrylic or organic glass used for making fish tanks? Which one is safer?
Answer: Both are PMMA with the same safety performance. It is recommended to use casting plates for the fish tank, with thickness calculated based on water depth (8mm for 30cm, 12mm for 50cm, 15mm for 70cm, and 20mm for 100cm). Yifang can provide specialized plates for fish tanks with higher strength.
Q: Can acrylic sheets replace glass in windows?
Answer: Sure. Acrylic has a light transmittance of 92% higher than ordinary glass and is not easily broken, making it highly safe. However, it should be noted that ordinary acrylic will turn yellow when exposed to outdoor sunlight. It is recommended to use UV resistant acrylic. In addition, the surface hardness of acrylic is lower than that of glass, making it easy to scratch. A soft cloth is needed for cleaning.
Q: Can organic glass panels be drilled? Will it crack?
Answer: It is possible to drill holes, but a specialized drill bit (such as acrylic drill bit or metal drill bit for low-speed drilling) needs to be used. When drilling, a wooden board should be placed on the back and water should be added for cooling. Well annealed sheets (such as Yifang products) are less prone to cracking.
