As early as 1872, the polymerisation of acrylic acid was discovered by scientists, which can be regarded as the 'ancestors' of the acrylic sheet, and then, in 1880, the polymerisation of methacrylic acid is also gradually known. By 1901, the synthesis of acrylic polyacrylate research was completed, to the development of acrylic sheet laid a good foundation. Then, in 1927, attempts were made to industrially manufacture acrylic sheets, and in 1937, with the successful development of industrial manufacturing of methacrylate, acrylic entered a phase of large-scale manufacturing, and began to change from a laboratory gadget to an important material that could be mass-produced.

During World War II, acrylic because of its strong toughness and light transmittance, is widely used in aircraft windshields and tank drivers cab vision mirror, resisted some shell attacks, which is considered to be in the military to show off some of the great role played a huge role. And in 1948, the application of acrylic sheet began to become more extensive, began to expand from military applications to daily life.

The emergence of coloured acrylic sheet can reflect the side of people for the demand for multiple beauty, and no longer adhere to the solid colour acrylic sheet. Production, workers only need to add different pigments or dyes in the acrylic sheet, can be completed, to produce a variety of colours of coloured acrylic sheet, such as red transparent acrylic sheet, semi-transparent acrylic sheet and transparent black acrylic sheet and so on, very simple, very easy, very good. acrylic sheets, etc. It is very simple and does not require any other complicated steps.

The coloured acrylic sheet is like a colourful 'magic board' that can be used wherever you want, in the colours you want. If you want one too, you can take a look at our company.
