Acrylic coasters are a common household item. The following will introduce its advantages, disadvantages, types, maintenance methods, etc.:
1. Advantages
1) Exquisite appearance: Acrylic has high transparency and good optical properties, and the coasters made of it are crystal clear and full of texture. At the same time, it can present a variety of rich colors and effects, such as gradient, frosted, pearlescent, etc., by adding pigments or using special processes. It can also print various patterns and texts to meet different aesthetic needs and add beauty to the desktop.
2) Lightweight and easy to carry: Compared with coasters made of ceramics, glass and other materials, acrylic coasters are lighter and easier to carry and move. They are very convenient for daily use or for picnics, parties and other occasions.
3) Waterproof and moisture-proof: Acrylic itself has good waterproof properties. It will not be damp, deformed or moldy due to contact with water. It can maintain stable performance in a humid environment and has a long service life.
4) Simple cleaning: Its surface is smooth and not easy to stain. Daily cleaning only requires gently wiping with a damp cloth to remove dust and water stains. If there are stubborn stains, you can also use a mild detergent to clean them. After cleaning, the coasters can still maintain a bright appearance.
2. Disadvantages
1) Easy to scratch: The surface of acrylic is relatively soft and can be easily scratched by sharp or rough objects. Once scratches appear, it will affect the appearance of the coasters. Special attention should be paid during use and placement.
2) Limited heat resistance: Although acrylic can withstand a certain degree of temperature changes, it cannot be exposed to high-temperature objects for a long time, otherwise it may cause deformation or damage. When using, avoid placing overheated cups or tableware directly on acrylic coasters.
3) Poor impact resistance: Although acrylic has better impact resistance than glass, it may still break or be damaged when subjected to a large external force. Prevent it from falling from a high place or being hit by hard objects during use.
3. Common types
