With the increasing demand for acrylic lenses in China, the total amount of domestic organic glass products is increasing, and there are also more and more manufacturers. Like anything else, there will be a period of development during which other products will continue to emerge, and so will acrylic. During the long development process of acrylic, people have developed various acrylic lenses and acrylic handicrafts to serve our lives.
The difference between acrylic lenses and glass lenses: 1. Different usage trends. It is a trend for acrylic lenses to be more used in handicrafts, while glass lenses are more often transformed from handicrafts to products that only require nearly 100% perspective. For example, nowadays, acrylic lenses are mostly used in windows of Bluetooth speakers, mobile phone windows, air conditioning windows, etc. It's a phone lens. Glass lenses that are more suitable for windows only exist for shielding purposes and are currently rarely used in electronic products. 2. The quality is different. At present, compared to the quality of glass lenses, the quality of acrylic lenses is only 50% of that of glass lenses under the same volume conditions. If other factors are not considered, lightweight will be the trend of future society. 3. Not easily broken. If you use acrylic lenses as a free fall object for the same large plate, it is basically safe. If you use glass lenses, they basically turn into glass slag. At present, when most electronic products use lenses, the probability of falling within a year is not less than 80%. In this case, they mostly tend to prioritize acrylic lenses, but glass lenses are not considered. 4. Coloring is simpler. Plastic PMMA lenses are actually organic molecules that are relatively convenient to react with other organic molecules, so coloring PMMA lenses is relatively convenient, while coloring glass is relatively difficult. The main reason is that glass hardly reacts with organic matter, so glass coloring is relatively unreliable, and even if coloring is successful, it is easy to fade. 5. More wear-resistant. Compared to PC lenses, we will find that PC lenses have higher toughness but are prone to scratches; Acrylic lenses have lower toughness and are less prone to scratches.
Overall, acrylic lenses have more benefits than glass lenses. In different situations, glass lenses may be better than acrylic lenses, but in most cases, acrylic lenses will be better than glass lenses. From the above points of view, almost all of them are the advantages of acrylic lenses compared to glass lenses. With the continuous development of society, products that are more sturdy, less prone to damage, safer, easier to manufacture, and more convenient, and with the same product quality, are the future goals. Therefore, more and more acrylic lenses are starting to replace glass lenses. Overall, acrylic lenses are indeed better.
