What else can acrylic be used for besides fish tanks?

Time : 2025-09-03

When it comes to acrylic, many people's first reaction is "transparent fish tank". Indeed, with its excellent light transmittance and strength, acrylic is widely used in the aquarium field. But in fact, the uses of acrylic are far more than just fish tanks. It has penetrated into almost every aspect of life.

Acrylic is a common material for high-end swimming pools. The side walls of transparent infinity pools and the viewing pool windows commonly seen in hotels and villas are almost all constructed from acrylic panels several dozen centimeters thick. This design is not only safe and stable, but also creates a unique visual experience of "people in the water, the water suspended in the air."

Acrylic is widely used in architecture and exhibitions. For example, many of aquariums' underwater tunnels, viewing corridors, and high-altitude glass bridges are actually made of acrylic. It is more impact-resistant than glass and can withstand tremendous pressure while maintaining a sense of transparency. Acrylic is also commonly used in museum exhibition covers and shopping mall display cases to ensure the safety and clarity of exhibits.

In daily life, acrylic is also an important material for lamps, billboards and home decorations. With its excellent light transmittance and strong weather resistance, acrylic can be processed into a variety of shapes, making it the driving force behind light-box advertising in city nightscapes. In addition, some vehicles, such as submarine portholes, airplanes, or some windows of high-speed trains, also use high-strength acrylic.

 

Acrylic is not only a "star material" for aquariums, but also a versatile material in the fields of architecture, display, home furnishing and engineering. Lanhu Acrylic has accumulated extensive experience in aquarium and swimming pool projects and continues to leverage the potential of acrylic in a wider range of applications, bringing the beauty of transparency into the lives of more people.
