High transparency. Organic glass is the most excellent polymer transparent materials, the transmittance of 92%, compared with the glass of high transmittance. The lamp is called the artificial sun solar quartz is done, this is because the quartz can be completely through ultraviolet. Ordinary glass can only through 0.6% of ultraviolet light, but the organic glass can through 73%.
High mechanical strength. Organic glass with a relative molecular mass of about 200 million, is the chain length of the polymer, and the formation of the molecular chain is very soft. Therefore, organic glass with relatively high intensity, tensile and impact ability than ordinary glass high 7-18times. There is a kind of organic glass which is heated and stretched, and the molecular chain segments are arranged in a very orderly order, so that the toughness of the material is greatly improved. Nail into the organic glass, even if the nails penetrate, and no crack on the organic glass. This kind of organic glass is not broken into pieces after the breakdown of the bullet. Therefore, the tensile treatment of the organic glass can be used as bullet proof glass, also used as a military aircraft cabin cover.
Light weight. The density of the organic glass is 1.18kg/dm, the same size of the material, its weight is only half of the ordinary glass, metal aluminum (belonging to the light metal) 43%.
The easy processing. Organic glass can be not only used for cutting lathe, drilling machine for drilling, but also with acetone, chloroform and etc. bond into instruments of various shapes, can also be used for blow molding, injection molding, extrusion, plastic molding processing into the aircraft cabin cover, small teeth and dental care, and other kinds of products
