Recycled 100% regenerated acrylic (PMMA, Green Cast R-MMA methacrylate, also known by trade names such as Plexiglas or Perspex but recycled) white in color.
Description
What is it?
Cast regenerated acrylic sheets (Green Cast) are produced at 100% from recycled raw materials and are recyclable.
The regeneration process makes it possible to recover raw material from industrial processing waste to obtain cast slabs with unaltered optical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics that makes them perfect for the laser cutting.
In fact, PMMA can be recycled countless times without ever losing all of its properties
Acrylic (also known by trade names such as Perspex or Plexiglass) is a rigid plastic with a very high degree of transparency. Its density is less than half that of glass, but its impact resistance is highly greater.
It can transmit up to 92% of visible light and is perfect for outdoor applications: all plates contain a UV absorber to ensure that colors last over time.This plastic tends to scratch easily. It can be cleaned with a mild solution of lukewarm water and dish soap. It must never be cleaned with other non-specific detergents or dry cloths (except microfiber)!
Notes for the design
The laser cutting on 3mm acrylic it tends to "burn" 0.2mm across the cutting line.
The details should not be smaller than 1mm, because they would become too fragile.
Files containing light, vector or raster engravings will be processed without protective film on the upper surface of the material.
The rounded corners can reduce the risk of breakage compared to right angles.
The acrylic sheets have a tolerance of +/- 10% compared to the nominal thickness.
It is used for ...
furnishing accessories, jewelery, homes for electronics, models.
Ecological information
Acrylic is a recyclable material, but in Italy it is not yet possible to differentiate it.
Gluing, joints and fixings
It can be glued with specific adhesives for plexiglass, special solvents, chloroform. Non-specific adhesives can deform or stain the surface.
It is possible to design three-dimensional objects with removable or permanent joints. It is also possible to use screws and bolts to join different parts in acrylic.
It can also be glued onto other materials.
