Description
Cast Acrylic is a form of poly(methyl methacylate) (PMMA). The sheets are produced by pumping the acrylic liquid, MMA (Methyl Methacrylate monomer) between two glass plates. The glass / monomer is then submerged in warm water and the process of polymerization takes place. The result is a sheet of rigid PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) or what is generically called Acrylic. The smooth surface from the glass produce a gloss finish while a sutle frosted textured on the glass surface will yield a matte finish. The chemical process in the mold create a homogeneous material with equivalent properties in all directions. These conditions make it ideal for laser cutting and engraving in any direction.
- Laser Cutting - the cut edges are polished
- Laser Engraving - produce a matte white
- Malleable / pliable when vacuum forming or hot wire line bending
Thickness available :
