How about acrylic cabinet countertops

　　 There are many materials for cabinet countertops, and different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. Acrylic cabinet countertops are one of them. What about acrylic cabinet countertops? What are the advantages of acrylic cabinet countertops? We are buying acrylic cabinet countertops. What should be paid attention to, let’s take a look at the relevant situation of acrylic cabinet countertops together.

　　How about acrylic cabinet countertops

　　Acrylic countertops are made of acrylic (PMMA) as the matrix and superfine aluminum hydroxide as the filler. They are artificial A kind of stone countertops. Acrylic countertops have higher hardness, better toughness, can be bent, and have excellent weather resistance and mechanical properties, will not produce natural cracks in the case of large temperature differences, and acrylic has high transparency and transparency. The light rate reaches 92%, and it has the reputation of 'plastic crystal'.

　　 At present, the acrylic countertops used in the cabinet industry are made of seamless splicing, which is easy to repair even if there is a problem. At the same time, the acrylic countertops are also easy to maintain and easy to clean.

　　The hardness of acrylic countertops is slightly lower than that of quartz stone. If rough objects rub on the countertop, it will easily damage the brightness of the countertop. Composite acrylic is resistant to high temperature to 90 degrees, pure acrylic is resistant to high temperature of 120 degrees, but do not contact overheated objects for a long time.

　　Acrylic cabinet countertops advantages

　　1. Price: Compared with artificial stone, quartz stone is more expensive, but the price of high-quality acrylic countertops is comparable to that of quartz stone. The countertops are comparable.

　　2. Hardness: Quartz crystal is a natural mineral whose hardness is second only to diamond in nature, and its surface hardness can be as high as 7.5 on the Mohs scale. The acrylic table is soft and prone to hard scratches.

　　3. High temperature resistance: Natural quartz crystal is a typical refractory material. Its melting point is as high as 1300 degrees. The quartz stone made of 90-95% natural quartz is completely flame retardant and will not be exposed to high temperature. It can cause burning, and it also has high temperature resistance that is unmatched by artificial stone and other countertops. Acrylic countertops should avoid placing overheated objects to avoid cold and heat shrinkage and discoloration.

　　4. Cleaning and maintenance: The shiny and bright surface of quartz stone has undergone multiple complex polishing processes, which will not be scratched by a knife or penetrated by liquid substances. There will be no yellowing and discoloration, and daily cleaning only needs to be rinsed with water, which is simple and easy. Even after a long period of use, its surface is as bright as a newly installed countertop, without maintenance and maintenance. But if the countertop is stained with stains that are difficult to remove, the quartz stone is more difficult to decontaminate, because it is difficult to polish and polish without special equipment, while the stains on the acrylic countertop can be polished with fine sandpaper to remove the stain.

　　How to choose acrylic cabinet countertops

　　1, look at the product's acrylic and resin content

　　 the abrasion resistance of artificial stone countertops, The toughness factor lies in one point, which is the acrylic content. The acrylic content of artificial stone is generally between 40% and 45%, which is the most stable. This is called pure acrylic by the industry, and its comprehensive performance is the most superior; in addition, special attention should be paid to the resin content. In order to reduce production costs, countertop manufacturers The acrylic content is often reduced by increasing the resin content. In this case, the countertop is very resistant to wear, and it is easy to cause the aging and yellowing of the countertop.

　　2, the thickness of the stand surface

　　 The thickness and strength of the acrylic countertop are directly related to the cost, and the thickness is also related to the issue of cost. If a 10mm thick board is used, it will only be 8mm thick after being processed and polished, which will cause some artificial stones to crack and deform after being impacted. When purchasing, you must understand the thickness of the artificial stone. The national standard for the thickness of the blank plate requires 12.7mm, and the finished product should be 12mm thick, while the low-priced countertops are usually only 8-10mm thick.

　　3, look at the product brand and price

　　 When buying countertops, if economic conditions permit, it is best to choose well-known brand products, so that the countertop quality will be more guaranteed. And products produced by small brands or small workshops are prone to quality problems. Generally, the price of medium artificial stone is about 1,000 yuan per linear meter. It is best not to choose products that are too cheap.
