2. Detailed Introduction
1. Acrylic — The Top Choice for Clarity & Performance
Acrylic (PMMA) is the leading high-end option among transparent translucent materials.
- Advantages: Extremely high light transmittance (over 92%), stable performance, strong impact resistance (10–16 times that of ordinary glass), excellent weatherability and processability.
- Applications: Optical instruments, medical equipment, architectural engineering, aerospace, commercial spaces, brand displays, aquariums, infinity pools and high-end partitions.
2. Resin Panel — For Art & Ambience
Resin panel focuses on artistic texture and atmosphere, not maximum transparency.
- Advantages: Rich patterns, soft light diffusion, strong decorative effect.
- Applications: Artistic backgrounds, feature walls, lighting fixtures, decorative screens and interior design accents.
3. Translucent Stone — Luxury & Warmth
Translucent stone imitates natural marble and onyx with a warm, luxurious matte finish.
- Advantages: Soft light transmission, natural stone texture, lightweight and safe.
- Applications: High-end interior hard decoration, hotel lobbies, luxury villas, reception walls and premium partitions.
3. Shared Advantages
All three materials share key benefits that make them superior to traditional materials:
- Light-transmitting: Can be used for lighting, light boxes, feature walls and partitions.
- Man-made & eco-friendly: No radiation, safe for indoor use.
- Lightweight & easy to install: Reduce structural load and installation difficulty.
- Fully customizable: Colors, sizes and shapes available on request.
- Safer & more cost-effective: More durable and less fragile than natural stone.
