A clear plastic used as a vehicle in paints and also a casting material in sculpture Noted for its quick drying and luminosity; oil is a paint in which a drying oil is the vehicle Oil color is more easily mixed than acrylic colors
Generic term for manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight acrylonitrile units Made in both filament and staple forms Used for marine and awning projects
Synthetic polymer fiber that goes by trade names Orlon, Draylon, and is composed of at least 86% acrylonitrile There are two groups; Modacrylics and Homopolymers
A resin resulting from the polymerization of derivatives of acrylic acids, including esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and their copolymers Acrylics are also used in powder coatings in their thermoplastic form
A synthetic polymer with excellent aging characteristics that can be used as either a single component adhesive or a coating or saturant' depending upon composition
Generic term for manufactured fiber in which the fiber- forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of acrylonitrile units Made in both filament and staple forms
warm to touch Available in translucent, transparent and opaque colors Resists sharp blows, but scratches easily Can be damaged by perfume, gasoline, cleaning fluid, etc Has slow burning rate; will not flash ignite
A plastic material noted for its transparency, weather resistance, colour fastness and transparency Acrylics are important in preservation because of their stability and resistance to chemical change Acrylics are available in sheets, films and resin adhesives Some common trade names for the sheet form are Perspex, Lucite and Plexiglas Ultraviolet absorbing acrylic sheet is used in preference to glass for glazing framed materials because it is less likely to break and the additional ultraviolet absorbers protect the framed objects from light damage
thermoplastic resin from polymerization of acrylic or methacrylic acid esters that exhibit fairly high impact strength, rigidity, and compatibility with other plastics, often used as base compound in formulating ink and adhesive systems
‑ A man‑made fiber in which the fiber forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of acrylonitrile units Basic building blocks are natural gas and air
Acrylic material is artificial and is manufactured by a chemical process. acrylic paints or cloth are made from chemical substances, not natural substances (acrolein chemical compound (19-21 centuries), from akr- ( ACRONYM) + olere )
