Acrylic

Acrylic is a readily accessible lightweight plastic sheet that offers considerable strength.

Acrylic offers superior strength compared to glass while being less than half the weight, making it an affordable and safer alternative.

The ease of fabrication and welding sets acrylic apart as a versatile material. Additionally, acrylic is available in various colours and effects, allowing for customisation and application creativity. It even lends itself to special techniques like laser etching, adding unique designs and patterns.

Acrylic is readily available in various forms:

Rod

Acrylic rods provide structural support and versatility, making them suitable for applications that require stability and durability.

Sheet

Acrylic sheets offer transparency and flexibility, allowing for customisation and adaptation to specific needs. They can be easily cut, shaped, and formed for various applications.

Tube

Acrylic tubes possess the same strength and versatility as sheets and rods but are designed for applications that require a hollow cylindrical shape.

By offering acrylic in rod, sheet, and tube formats, we provide options to suit a wide range of applications. Whether you require the strength and transparency of acrylic sheets, the structural support of acrylic rods, or the versatility of acrylic tubes, we have the proper form to meet your specific requirements.

The Acrylic Sheet: A Game-Changing Innovation in Plastic

Do we need to elaborate on how acrylic sheets have revolutionised the world? The evidence is all around us, across industries. Acrylic plastic materials have seamlessly integrated into the very fabric of our lives, adorning homes, offices, and shops. Each day, we uncover new and innovative applications for this remarkable material. This is precisely why partnering with an industry leader like Solutions In Plastic & Engineering can unlock the door to your success. We take pride in offering top-notch acrylic sheet solutions in Australia.

The Evolution of Acrylic Sheets: From Safety Glass to Versatile Marvels

Referred to as “safety glass,” acrylic sheets appeared in the 1930s, but the groundwork for this polymer material was laid much earlier in the 19th century. During World War II, their shatterproof qualities were tested as they were a reliable substitute for glass, enhancing the safety of Allied troops and aircrews. Remarkably, clear acrylic sheeting enveloped and safeguarded the nose gunners aboard the legendary B-17 Flying Fortresses.

The exceptional performance of acrylic sheets paved the way for an explosion of applications in the post-war era, spanning the military, industrial, and everyday realms. Nowadays, acrylic sheets can be found in countless places, from window panels adorning skyscrapers to bulletproof security barriers, signs and displays, and LCD screens. Transparent acrylic sheets also make modern aquariums possible, creating stunning underwater vistas.

Boasting greater strength than glass while weighing less than half, transparent acrylic sheets are easily fabricated, welded, and available in various colours. They can be moulded into rods and sheets and laser-etched to achieve stunning effects. Acrylic sheets provide a safe storage solution for food and offer excellent weather resistance, ensuring a long-lasting, scratch-resistant lifespan for indoor and outdoor applications.

With such versatile capabilities, acrylic sheets have entered diverse industries, serving purposes like marine windows, signage, point of sale, retail, entertainment, and beyond. Their significance in numerous sectors is a testament to acrylic sheets’ remarkable adaptability and functionality.
