Our Acrylic can claim a proven record in a wide variety of fields. But nowhere have its unique qualities been more convincingly and frequently demonstrated than in the sign industry. One obvious reason for this is the sheer durability of the material. 30-year-old signs almost look as bright and attractive as the day they were installed. Besides, acrylic offers exceptional weather-resistance, allows an impressive creative freedom to the designers and all colours look just as good in daylight as they do when illuminated.

Few competitive products can match the outstanding optical qualities of our clear transparent acrylic plastic. It is exceptionally clear, is virtually free from distortion and its light transmission factor is 92%; a combination of virtues which guarantee comfortable, detailed viewing for any display, being commercial, a work of art or an ancient artefact. The strength of the material and the solid protection it offers against theft, vandalism and accidental damage fully match its optical performance. In fact, our acrylic has a high impact resistance and meets all the requirements of the BS 6206 1981 Impact Performance Requirements for Flat Safety Glass and Safety Plastics for use in Buildings and conforms to the requirements in BS 6262 1982 Code of Practice for Glazing for Buildings.

Even UV radiation was taken care of by our acrylic manufactures - an important detail in the display of sensitive artefacts. One of our latest inclusions in our acrylic list is the Transparent Clear Silk (Anti-Reflective) - the ideal solution for problematic situations connected with light reflections.

A material used in the preparation and display of food and drink must offer, in equal measure, two quite separate virtues - it must be absolutely hygienic and attractive. Our acrylic is every bit as clean and hygienic as it looks. It is exceptionally easy to clean and can be washed, time after time, with hot water and detergents without harm. Its attractive appearance is further enhanced by the way it can be shaped, cut, polished and thermoformed in anyway you need. But the most important thing is that it fully complies with the EU directive (90/128/EEC) for plastics, materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

The clear advantages of our acrylic in the transport field have been regularly demonstrated. With a light transmission of 92%, its optical properties are better than those of glass and its weight only half as much. Its strength, toughness and resistance to weathering are outstanding too. All in all, it is hardly surprising that our acrylic has been used in just anything which flies, floats or rolls - in particular yachts, speed boats, cars, buses and caravans. For glazing applications in which light intensity and solar heat transmission need to be minimised, transparent tinted acrylic can provide an effective and attractive answer.

The above data represents typical results obtained using standard test pieces.

The above information is given in good faith, but we are unable to guarantee its accuracy or to accept responsbility in respect of factors which are outside our knowledge or control.

Physical Properties - There should not be any substantial change in the rigidity and brittleness in the first 10 years.

UV Protection - To ensure maximum durability and performance against harmful UV rays, a combination of UV stabilizer and UV absorber have been applied to our cast acrylic during production.
