Why Do Acrylic Sheet Prices Vary? Jinbao Fire Test Comparison

Why do acrylic sheets in the same market have such different prices? This side-by-side fire test demonstrates how material quality can affect burning behavior.

We first tested two low-priced acrylic sheet samples supplied by our customers and purchased from their local market. During the test, the samples produced heavy black smoke and a strong, unpleasant odor. After burning, their surfaces turned completely black.

We then tested Jinbao premium acrylic sheet, manufactured using 100% virgin MMA material. It produced fine white smoke with a slight sweet odor. After the test, the surface showed only slight yellowing and small burn marks.
