 A Perspex Rod is a solid cylindrical rod made from Perspex (also known as acrylic or polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA), a transparent thermoplastic material widely used in laboratories, industrial applications, and educational demonstrations. Perspex rods are prized for their clarity, strength, and ease of machining, making them ideal for experiments requiring optical transparency or lightweight, durable components. 

Description

PERSPEX ROD

 Primary Uses

  1. Laboratory and Educational Applications
  • Demonstrating optical phenomena such as refraction and light transmission.
  • Construction of laboratory apparatus requiring transparent, durable rods.
  • Teaching static electricity experiments due to Perspex’s ability to hold charge.
  • Supporting or mounting components in experimental setups.

Secondary Uses

  1. Industrial and Research Applications
  • Used in prototype models and design mock-ups.
  • Employed in light-guiding applications and signage.
KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

1.Basic Identification Attributes

  • Material: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) – Perspex.
  • Shape: Cylindrical rod, available in various diameters and lengths.
  • Color: Transparent, with high optical clarity.
  • Surface: Smooth and polished finish.

2.Physical & Chemical Properties

  • Transparency: High optical clarity, comparable to glass but lighter.
  • Density: Approximately 1.18 g/cm³, lighter than glass.
  • Mechanical Strength: Good impact resistance but can scratch more easily than glass.
  • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many acids and alkalis but sensitive to some solvents (e.g., acetone).

3.Safety & Hazard Attributes

  • Can crack or shatter under high stress; handle with care.
  • Avoid exposure to solvents that may cause crazing or damage.

4.Storage & Handling Attributes

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation.
  • Handle with gloves to avoid fingerprints and surface damage.
  • Avoid contact with solvents and abrasive materials.

5.Regulatory & Compliance Attributes

  • Manufactured to comply with laboratory equipment and material safety standards.

6.Environmental & Health Impact

  • Perspex is recyclable under specific industrial processes.
  • Non-toxic under normal handling conditions.
SAFETY HANDLINGS PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

  • Use gloves if handling heavy or sharp-edged bobs.
  • Ensure secure attachment to pendulum string before use.

First Aid Measures

  • For impact injuries, apply first aid and seek medical attention if severe.

Firefighting Measures

  • Non-flammable metal component.
  • Use appropriate extinguishing methods for surrounding materials.
