Acrylic & Polycarbonate Fabrication and Display

Commonly referred to generically as “perspex", acrylic is one of the most versatile and common plastics used on an everyday basis.

What shop would be without some kind of acrylic point of sale display or acrylic shelf riser? Who is not familiar with an acrylic business card holder or menu holder.

One of the reasons acrylic is so popular is its optical grade clarity and its superior strength compared to standard glass. These advantages go hand in hand cost advantages and safety considerations

With the options now available including a huge range of colour and finishes it is hard to imagine it role as the staple of commercial display ever being eclipsed. See Sample Colours here.

Fabrication processes include:

• Cutting (CNC available)
•  Bending
•  Forming
•  Moulding
•  Gluing
•  Polishing

Industrial Plastics has a separate division for acrylic and polycarbonate fabrication and can provide one off samples or runs of thousands.

Polycarbonate is commonly referred to generically as “lexan”.
It has a much greater impact resistance than acrylic, along with self extinguishing properties and is commonly used in commercial light boxes, elevator light diffusers and club facilities where “tough love” may be experienced and patrons may need to be protected from their own actions.

Industrial Plastics recommends the use of UV2 rated polycarbonate that incorporates a layer of acrylic on the surface of the polycarbonate and with it the UV protection this affords
