What’s the difference between acrylic and ordinary plastic

1. Different materials. In fact, acrylic is also called plexiglass, and acrylic is made by glue injection or extrusion, so the natural price will be higher. However, plastic belongs to a polymer compound, which can also be called resin, which can change the shape. The main component of plastic is resin, stabilizer, lubricant and so on.

2. The appearance is different. The products made by acrylic are generally more transparent, which is much higher than that of glass, but plastic can not be compared with it. The color of plastic is darker and less beautiful than acrylic. The color of acrylic is more and more bright. In fact, plastic bottles are more common now, For some drinks or food, you can choose this disposable plastic container, which is not easy to break, the cost is relatively low, and the transparency is very high. Maybe this is also the main reason why people will like to use plastic.

4. The strength of the two is also different. If you compare the raw materials, you will find that the strength of acrylic is slightly higher, which is not easy to deform and bend. However, the strength of plastic is weaker. As long as you break it a little, it will bend greatly.
