What Are The Processes Used In Acrylic Fabrication?
Acrylic is a transparent thermoplastic and is used in a variety of applications. It is a tough, strong, shatter-resistant and lightweight material and is often used as an alternative to traditional glass. It is also weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor applications. Acrylic is a good electrical insulator and colourless acrylic has a light transmittance of 92%. Translucent acrylic can diffuse light smoothly and therefore it can be used in lighting applications. Acrylic is easy to handle, process and fabricate. The acrylic fabrication processes are cleaning, cutting, routing, turning, drilling, finishing and polishing. Fabrication processes The various fabrication processes are as follows: Cleaning Acrylic sheets can be cleaned with mild soap and detergent and plenty of water. It can then be cleaned with a soft cloth or chamois by applying light pressure. If there is grease or oil on it then it should be cleaned by using the right solvents. Cutting Acrylic can be cut using han
