Acrylic offers enhanced properties over land-derived materials such as wood.
- Acrylic can withstand drilling, sawing, routing and machinery applications, which then can be decorated and silkscreened.
- Acrylic, a thermoplastic, can be heated for molding into any shape.
- The surface hardness of acrylic is equivalent to brass or copper.
- Its surface resistance to outdoor elements such as moisture and weathering make plexiglass acrylic a reliable insulator.
- Unlike other plastics, acrylic will not yellow due to sun exposure.
- Acrylic portrays the highest optical transparency achievable, with a 92% white light transmittance.
Acrylic Manufacturing Process
Acrylic is essentially a thermoplastic. It is derived from natural gas, turned into a clear, watery white liquid, heated to form a transparent solid shape – nearly any solid shape. Acrylics are then manufactured into large sheets, rods, tubes, profiles and specific shape designs.
