Acrylic selection

Glass:
1: Ordinary glass:
Emerald green, fragile, low transparency, easy to age and deform under the rain and sun, try not to use it to make fish tanks.
2: Float glass:
Transparent float glass is made of glass paste that enters the tin bath through a control gate, and after it floats on the surface of the molten tin due to gravity and its own surface tension, it enters the cooling bath to make both sides of the glass smooth and even, and the ripples disappear. . Dark green, smooth appearance without ripples, good perspective, with a certain degree of toughness. Referral application.
3: Tempered glass:
Tempered glass is a kind of high-strength safety glass obtained by heating the glass to its softening point and then rapidly air cooling. Under the same thickness, the bending strength of tempered glass is 4-5 times higher than that of ordinary glass, and the impact strength is 5 times higher than that of ordinary glass. The thermal stability of tempered glass is extremely strong, and the ability to accept violent temperature changes without being destroyed. The most important feature of tempered glass is safety. This glass breaks into similar honeycomb particles, which can prevent harm to the human body. Note: The glass that has been tempered cannot be processed by cutting, drilling, grooving, etc. Because the glass breaks into similar honeycomb particles, which cannot be compensated for intact, it is not recommended for use on the aquarium!
4: Press Klee (transliteration) glass
It is similar to a kind of glass material between plexiglass and ordinary glass. It was originally used on airplanes. The early angled acrylic fish tanks were mostly made of acrylic glass, which is light in weight and strong in toughness. It needs to be made in one piece. , Easy to scratch, low transparency!
5: Plexiglass:
PMMA, commonly known as plexiglass, is an important thermoplastic that was developed earlier. It has good transparency, chemical stability, easy dyeing, and easy processing. But the strength is low, except for some small craft tanks (boxes) in the use of aquariums, they are generally not used.
Glass glue: The full name is silicone glass glue. There are many types of glass glue on the market, including acid glass glue, neutral weather resistant glue, silicic acid neutral construction glue, silicone stone glue, neutral anti-mold glue, hollow glass glue, aluminum Special glue for plastic panels, special glue for aquariums, special glue for large glass, special glue for bathroom mildew, acidic structural glue, etc.
Special glue for aquariums is common and rare, so please choose imported glue for common use, followed by high-quality glass glue.

Manufacturing process
Grinding (car) side:
Grind the edge cuts of the glass cut to a suitable size to be smooth, beautiful and not risky. It is processed by a special glass edging machine, and the ordinary incision will be ground in a 45-degree chamfer shape.
Lajin:
In order to prevent the water pressure from causing the tank body to deform and leak or break after the aquarium is filled with water, a method of reinforcing the edge part is adopted, which is also made of glass, which is commonly used on the upper and bottom edges of the tank.
