What does transparent acrylic mean?

　　Transparent acrylic, also known as organic glass sheets, is an early fiber material characterized by excellent light transmission, achieving a transmittance rate of over 92%. It exhibits chemical stability against acids and high heat resistance. Additionally, the material boasts superior surface strength, making it highly resistant to damage while remaining easy to manufacture, process, and color. Beyond its durability and ease of production, the material features a bright, glossy surface and aesthetically pleasing appearance. As a result, it is widely utilized not only in the construction industry but also in applications such as automotive headlights and optical instruments like precision lenses and glass components. 
　　When initially selecting acrylic sheets, you can assess their light transmission properties by placing the material directly under a white light source and observing how well it allows light to pass through. High-quality acrylic sheets exhibit authentic, excellent light transmission without any yellowing or bluish tints. In contrast, inferior or counterfeit materials typically have poor light transmission and may even show noticeable yellowing. 
　　When selecting, it is essential to examine its thickness, as this is a key characteristic of the board material. Typically, high-quality boards have a nominal thickness that closely matches their actual measured thickness. Additionally, such boards exhibit excellent scratch resistance on the surface and do not emit any irritating odors, even after laser cutting. In contrast, inferior or counterfeit boards often fail to meet the required thickness standards, are prone to surface scratches, and may release harmful, pungent odors. 
　　Then, when selecting, you can test it by applying heat. High-quality boards will not ignite; even if they do catch fire, they won’t produce bubbles, deformation, or a pungent odor. On the contrary, inferior materials will deform upon heating and may even bubble up. Additionally, genuine high-quality boards can be softened by heat, allowing them to separate easily even if stuck together—whereas substandard products cannot be detached under such conditions.
