The difference between plexiglass and ordinary glass

Plexiglass character is generally much stronger than ordinary glass. Its density, although half the size of ordinary glass, is not as easy to break as glass. Its transparency is very good, crystal clear, and has a good thermoplasticity. It can be heated into a glass rod, glass tube or glass plate, because of its attractive appearance and character. It has a wide range of uses.

When the thickness of ordinary glass exceeds 15 cm, it will turn into a green piece, and it is impossible to see things through the glass. The plexiglass is 1 meter thick and can clearly see the opposite thing. Because it has a very good light transmission performance, and UV can also penetrate, it is commonly used to manufacture optical instruments.
