plexiglass can be divided into four types according to its shape:
1. Colorless and transparent plexiglass

Transparent plexiglass: high transparency, suitable for making lamps. The chandelier made of it is exquisite and crystal clear. Semi-transparent plexiglass is similar to frosted glass, with soft reflection. Crafts made of it make people feel comfortable and generous.
3. Pearlescent plexiglass
is made by adding pearl powder or fluorescent powder to ordinary plexiglass. This kind of plexiglass is bright in color and high in surface smoothness. After the external form is hot-pressed by the mold, even if it is polished, it still maintains the molded pattern, forming a unique artistic effect. It can be used to make figures, animal models, trademarks, decorations and publicity and exhibition materials.
