Question

What are the characteristics of acrylic?

Answer 1

Hey Friend :-)

Here is your answer

Transparency

Acrylic plastic is extremely transparent and transmits 92 percent of white light. This is equal to the transparency of the finest optical glass.

Impact Resistance

Acrylic sheets (Plexiglas) have six to 17 times the impact resistance of ordinary glass, depending on the specific preparation. Plexiglas also breaks into relatively dull pieces compared to glass.

Weather Resistance

Acrylic plastic is highly resistant to variations in temperature and humidity, making it useful in outdoor applications.

Chemical Resistance

Acrylic plastic is highly resistant to inorganic acids and bases but can be dissolved by organic substances, especially petroleum products.

Combustibility

Acrylic plastic is combustible and will self-ignite at approximately 860 degrees Fahrenheit. It will burn with an open flame at about 560 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hoping it helps

Thanks :D

Answer 2

Answer:-

We wear sweaters and use shawls or blankets in the winter. Many of these are actually not made from natural wool, though they appear to resemble wool.

These are prepared from another type of synthetic fibre called acrylic.The wool obtained from natural sources is quite expensive, whereas clothes made from acrylic are relatively cheap.They are available in a variety of colours,Synthetic fibres are more durable and affordable which makes them more popular than natural fibres.
