1. The official name of acrylic bathtub is glass fiber reinforced plastic bathtub. The surface material is polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic, PMMA, which is the Chinese name of acrylic), and the thickness is generally more than 3 mm. The reverse side is covered with glass fiber and coated with special resin for reinforcement. The acrylic bathtub has uniform color, smooth surface, no delamination and bubbles.
2. Acrylic is an important thermoplastic that has been developed earlier. It has good transparency, chemical stability, weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing, and beautiful appearance. Compared with cast iron and steel bathtubs, the cost of raw materials for manufacturing bathtubs is much lower, and the performance is very good, so it has a price advantage and stronger market competitiveness.
3. The heat transfer of the acrylic bathtub is very slow, so the heat preservation effect is good. Even in the cold winter, the skin will not feel "cold" when touching the surface of the acrylic bathtub. The collision between the human body and the acrylic bathtub generally does not hurt the body, and the surface of the acrylic bathtub is smooth and white, which is a necessary material for the manufacture of luxurious bathtubs.
4. Acrylic bathtub has many advantages, and of course there are disadvantages. Acrylic bathtub has relatively poor pressure resistance, so the surface is easy to be stained by some small hard objects, and it is easy to yellow and age after long use. In terms of service life, acrylic bathtubs are far inferior to other types of bathtubs. Acrylic bathtub advantages: rich in shape, light weight, good surface finish, and low price. Disadvantages of acrylic bathtub: poor high temperature resistance, poor pressure resistance, non-abrasion resistance, easy aging of the surface, and easier to get dirty than cast iron bathtubs.
