Pay more attention to the usage of acrylic sheets
-
Temperature :
Acrylic sheets are softened with heating at 100ºC Centigrade or over. To prevent from becoming soft, please keep units beyond the place over 100ºC Centigrade. -
Scratch :
The hardness of surface is equivalent to aluminum, thus be careful to surface protection during process. If there are scratches on the surface of acrylic sheets, polish them with cleaner used for brass that can remove its brilliant surface. -
Cleaning :
Due to acrylic sheet with static electricity, clean the surface with soft and dry cloth wetted 1% soap water when there is dust on the surface. -
Swell :
The coefficient o heat is larger and its tension is about nine times of other metal materials. Remain enough space for its contractility to variable temperature while you install and fix acrylic sheets steady.
Special Instruction Under Installation
Reserve enough space for contractility, the elasticity of cast acrylic sheet per meter is as following, according to the temperature.
(A) After finishing processed acrylic novelties at 10 Centigrade, the temperature raises to 50°C 1000 x 8 x 105 x (50-10) = 3.2m/m (elongation)
(B) After finishing processed acrylic novelties at 10 Centigrade, the temperature falls to -10°C 1000 x 6 x 105 x (30+10) = 2.4m/m (shrinkage)
You can consult general settlements to prevent from troubles as following :
- Reserve the frame for contractility.
- Making elliptical hole with screw.
- Cushion material as elastic as rubber
- Making acrylic novelties into unprominent shape.
- Using form to increase the cross-sectional coefficient avoiding interior stress.
Prevent Transformation
- Forming acrylic sheets into wave, wrap and through to increase cross-sectional coefficient in order to prevent trans formation from the weight of acrylic sheet itself and lasing.
- Increasing thickness of acrylic sheet as larger length and dimension.
- Counting thickness, tension tolerance and bending strength of acrylic sheet to endure wind pressure on the surface.
