1. Can acrylic mirrors shatter?

Not easily broken. Acrylic lenses are different from glass lenses in terms of material. Glass lenses are made of inorganic materials, while acrylic lenses are made of organic materials. This type of plastic is a type of plastic that will not break when dropped on the ground. It has good weather resistance and acid and alkaline resistance, and will not cause yellowing and hydrolysis problems due to prolonged exposure to wind and sun. Compared with other materials and products, it has been used for more than 3 years, resulting in good reflective performance, It can reach over 92%.

2. Can acrylic mirrors be used as mirrors?

It can replace glass mirrors. The mirror effect is similar and the lighting effect is clear, but the two substrates are different. Acrylic mirror panels have many advantages, such as being a durable product, and the acrylic mirror panel is coated with PMMA plastic plate to form a mirror effect. This material has a shatterproof function and provides users with great safety performance, while glass is a relatively fragile product, During installation, as long as it is moved slightly, it will break or fall to the floor, which can easily cause small glass debris. For safety reasons, it is not recommended to use glass mirrors.

3. How to cut acrylic mirrors?

①. Carbon dioxide laser for irregular cutting
Laser can be used to cut acrylic lenses of any shape while minimizing material waste. The working principle of a laser cutting machine is to focus a large amount of energy on a small limited area, and then melt and vaporize the material. It should be noted that the speed and light intensity must be well matched during cutting, as this will affect the completion of sheet cutting
②. Cutting machine or electric saw for straight cutting
Generally used to achieve precise linear cutting of one or more acrylic mirror panels. When cutting materials, the mirror surface should be facing downwards, and a protective film should be maintained between every two sheets to protect the paint back coating during the cutting process. Linear cutting, this method has the fastest cutting speed.
③. CNC engraving and irregular cutting
Similar to laser cutting, it can cut according to the input graphics, but the accuracy and effect of cutting are not as good as laser cutting. During cutting, there are more acrylic debris generated, which is more wasteful of material than other cutting methods.
④. Manual hook, line, and cut
In the absence of equipment, when simply cutting a single piece of acrylic lens with a thickness of less than 3mm in a straight line, a manual hook knife can be used to mark the line to be cut on the acrylic lens. Use the hook knife to mark the line to be cut, draw back and forth a few times, and then place one end on the desktop, one end suspended, and break the acrylic lens by hand along the scratch. If you want the edge to be neat, you can use sandpaper to polish the edge.
