What is the difference between polymer slab and composite acrylic table?
Composite acrylic artificial stone is made of unsaturated polyester resin, base acrylic acid methyl ester (PMMA), natural minerals and pigments mixed with high molecular solid surface material, no radioactive, can be in direct contact with food, its stability , Physical, anti-aging and anti-yellowing inferior to pure acrylic artificial stone, widely used in high-grade decoration.
Polymer artificial stone is a kind of uniform texture, compact structure, no pores of the man-made sheet, also known as polymer solid surface material. At present the market circulation of artificial stone according to the process and material composition is divided into three kinds:
Polyester type: the main raw materials from the unsaturated resin, aluminum hydroxide, natural pigments.
Composite Acrylic Type: Add some methyl methacrylate (MMA) to the general unsaturated resin to increase the anti-aging properties and hardness and flexural properties of the solid surface material.
Pure Acrylic Type (PMMA): The main material consists of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and aluminum hydroxide (ATH) and natural pigments, without any other resin. Polyester type is the most affordable, pure acrylic type of the most expensive
The difference between polymer slabs and composite acrylic countertops is that the composite acrylic countertops is harder.
