Advantages and disadvantages of acrylic bathtub

The official name of the acrylic bathtub is the glass fiber reinforced plastic bathtub (acrylic is the English ACRYLIC homophonic). Its surface material is methyl propyl methyl ester, the back surface is covered with glass fiber, and coated with special resin. The entire bathtub should have a uniform color, a smooth surface, no delamination, bubbles, etc. The thickness of the surface layer is generally more than 3 mm, and it is firmly bonded to the glass fiber without peeling.

Acrylic bathtubs have slow heat transfer, so they are well insulated and have no "cold" feel on the body surface. Compared with the cast iron or steel bathtub, there is a more “warm and soft” feeling that does not touch the body. Because of the better reworkability of acrylic, it's not a matter of luxury massage bathtubs.

It should be noted that the bottom of the acrylic bathtub should be covered with yellow sand cement paste at the bottom of the installation. It cannot be emptied or only a few support points to avoid breaking. During use, the sharp and hard objects should be prevented from bumping and rubbing. When cleaning, apply a soft cloth and detergent to avoid scratching with scouring pad. Once the hair is found, wipe it with a soft cloth and toothpaste to restore the shine.
