Product Description

Product Description

Leyu is a brand that produces acrylic sheets for aquariums. They offer different grades of acrylic sheets, such as extruded and cast, which have different characteristics and properties.

To determine the quality of Leyu's acrylic sheets for aquariums, you may want to consider factors such as:

Thickness:

The thickness of the acrylic sheet will affect its durability and resistance to pressure. Thicker sheets are generally stronger but may also be more expensive.

Optical clarity:

Acrylic sheets should be clear and free of any distortions or discolorations that could affect the viewing experience.

Scratch resistance:

Aquariums can be scratched easily, so you may want to look for acrylic sheets that have a scratch-resistant coating or are inherently scratch-resistant.

Chemical resistance:

Acrylic can be damaged by certain chemicals, so you may want to make sure that the acrylic sheets you choose are resistant to the chemicals commonly used in aquariums.

Ultimately, the quality of Leyu's acrylic sheets for aquariums will depend on the specific product you choose and your individual needs and preferences. It may be helpful to read reviews from other aquarium enthusiasts or consult with a professional before making a purchase.

How to clean, disinfect and maintain acrylic panel？

The Acrylic panel can be used in many things. Its versatility makes it suitable for almost any scene. In the process of use, it will inevitably produce dirt, dust, and even bacteria, so we need to know in advance how to Cleaning, disinfecting, and maintaining it will extend the service life.

Of course, we have to master these operating procedures accurately to prevent the improper operation from damaging the acrylic, so in this blog, we will explain the detailed and accurate steps to you.

How to Clean Acrylic panel?

When the glass or glass mirror on the window is stained and oily, you can use a cloth or cotton to drip a little kerosene or white wine, and gently wipe it, it will be bright and clean, use a soft cloth or soft paper, in the water with alcohol or white wine After soaking the mirror, wipe the mirror first, and then wipe it with a clean cloth dipped in chalk dust and wipe it again.

If the plexiglass display stand with the gold rim is dirty, wipe it with a towel dipped in beer or white wine to remove the dirt and make it clean and bright.

When scrubbing the plexiglass display stand, first apply chalk gray water or plaster powder water, and then wipe it with a dry cloth after it is dry. It is easy to wipe off dirt and polish.

Acrylic products are stained with paint and dirt, which can be easily wiped off with vinegar.

There is a large area of oil stains on acrylic products, first scrub with waste gasoline, then scrub with washing powder or decontamination powder, and then rinse with water.

How to disinfect acrylic panels

Dilute bleach solution:

Prepare bleach solution:

Add 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) bleach per gallon of water

Or 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

Use a clean, soft cloth (we recommend disposable cleaning cloths - Wypall L40) and apply only slight pressure.

How to maintain acrylic panels?

Acrylic maintenance is an important part of acrylic after it is processed into finished products, such as acrylic furniture. We certainly hope that a product can be used longer, so in order to extend its life, please treat it with care.

There are the following points, I hope everyone will pay attention:

Acrylic will deform when heated at around 70 degrees, and it will become soft when heated above 100 degrees, so it should not be used in places above 100 degrees.

Acrylic polishing, if it is a small scratch, you can directly wipe it with toilet paper or a rag with a little toothpaste. If it is a larger scratch, I personally mind sanding the acrylic. If the product is sanded with sandpaper, the product will be scrapped. The entire surface is scratched, which will be worse.

Acrylic should be scrubbed with a soft cloth. Never use any cleaning agent containing granular objects, and do not use various chemical baths to scrub.

Acrylic is easy to crack, so pay attention to surface protection when taking and placing.

Acrylic has a large thermal expansion coefficient, so temperature changes should be taken into account when installing or fixing, leaving space for expansion and contraction.

If the acrylic product is not damaged, it can be connected with IPS adhesive/bonding methylene chloride type adhesive or quick-drying agent.

If you want the acrylic product to be bright and beautiful, you can use liquid polishing wax and wipe it with a soft cloth.

Conclusion

Like glass, acrylic panel is really easy to clean, disinfect, and maintain, but it is stronger than glass, so acrylic panel is becoming more and more popular. Leyu Acrylic is a leading acrylic panel manufacturer in China. We can provide plexiglass panels and fish tank aquarium products of any size from 20-800mm to customers around the world.

How does acrylic (strength-wise) compare to glass?

125″ thickness of acrylic is 2 to 3 times more impact resistant than double strength window glass, 4 to 5 times more impact resistant than wire glass or other glasses. A .250″ thickness of acrylic is 9 to 10 times more impact resistant than wire or other glasses.

How does acrylic compare to other plastics in strength?

Polycarbonate is strongest, followed by PETG/PET, impact modified acrylic sheet, then general-purpose acrylic sheet.

What are the benefits of acrylic over glass?

Acrylic is stronger, more impact resistant, lighter in weight, won’t shatter, is easier to fabricate, and can be easily formed.

What about Thermal Expansion & Contraction of Plexiglas®?

All materials expand and contract to a greater or lesser degree due to changes in temperature and humidity. Allowances must be made for these changes in the construction and fabrication of products; for example, the expansion joints in cement sidewalks and on steel bridges. Acrylic sheet is subject to greater dimensional change, due to thermal expansion and contraction, than other materials with which it is used in construction. Acrylic Sheet vs. Other Materials Inches/Inch/F Acrylic Sheet .0000410 Aluminum .0000129 Plate Glass .0000050 For indoor applications where temperatures normally remain the same (+/- 20 degrees F), acrylic sheet does not generally require special considerations for expansion and contraction other than providing for a snug rather than tight fit since its movement is approximately .00984″ per foot length for each 20 degrees of temperature change.

Help! My plastic is scratched!

When your beautiful piece of Lucite® acrylic scratches, you can fix it quickly! If you can’t feel the scratch with your fingernail, then Novus® #2 or #3 should restore the finish. Otherwise, you will need to sand and buff the area that is scratched to return the shine (see the Solution in the next paragraph). It’s the same way we polish the edges of thick pieces of acrylic here at Emco Plastics – it works! This procedure ONLY works on acrylic. It does not work on styrene (like the colored boxes we sell) or on polycarbonate (Lexan®, Tuffak®, Hyzod®). They both look clear, but they cannot be restored. Ask about our Abrasion Resistant coatings.

What if I have a deep scratch in my plastic?

Sand the scratch with a #400 grit sand paper. Once the scratch is removed, wet sand with a #600 grit sand paper. Buff out using 3M® super duty rubbing compound and a high speed bonnet buffer. Buff out with a fine polish such as 3M® finess-it-II or Mequiars® #17 clear plastic polish and a high speed bonnet buffer.

How can you drill a hole in acrylic sheet without cracking the material around the hole?

The material cracks because the drill speed is too fast or there is too much pressure on the drill when exiting the hole at the underside of the acrylic sheet. Back up the work area with another piece of acrylic or plywood so then the drill can continue through into solid material. If using a commercially available twist drill, make sure it is ground to a proper angle of 60-90 degrees.

There’s a crack in my plastics! What do I do?

There is nothing more frustrating than a crack in a piece of Plexiglas® or Lexan®. Both of these materials are “notch sensitive”. By the way, so is glass! That’s why you can scribe and break glass (and Plexiglas®) along the scribe. These materials have no grain and therefore cracks can travel as they please. However, cracks can be stopped with a simple procedure. Using a very small drill bit, (1/16″ or so) drill a hole through the material at the end of the crack. That’s it. If it is a long crack, you might be able to inject some IPS WeldOn® #3 (Methylene Chloride) into the crack to partially seal it. If the plastic is on a sign, and therefore most likely opaque, you should glue a 1″ strip of 3/16″ Plexiglas® to the back side to reinforce the cracked area.
