1. CUSTOM ACRYLIC & PLASTIC FABRICATION**Plexiglass fabrication** is an interesting process. There are currently thousands of "products fabricated":http://www.akrylix.com/preview.php?photo=114 with plastics. Extrusion, molding, thermoforming, machining, vacuum forming, strip heat bending, milling, drilling, cutting, and polishing are the different ways that plexiglass can be fabricated. Polishing is accomplished by using a torch or a cloth buffer. Plexiglass can also be attached to other plexiglass pieces using solvent adhesives or mechanical fasteners. These methods of fabricating plexiglass are always evolving. Different techniques are used. The fabrication techniques and methods employed depend on the environment and application of the finished products. Customer specifications and quantities to be produced are also important variables. Our customers rely on our vast experience and expertise to fabricate their product at the best cost, quality, and look. Plexiglass fabricators are cropping up more around the world due to increasing demand for plastic products. Plexiglass can be fabricated in the following ways:
1. **Extrusion**
In the extrusion process, melted plastic is pushed through a nozzle to make long lengths of special shapes like tubing. It is also used to create strands, and joining strips for wallboard. Thick plexiglass sheets are also often created this way.
2. **Blow Extrusion**
Blow Extrusion is primarily used for making plastic films and bags. While the plastic is still hot, a tube is inflates the film with compressed air, much like a balloon. At the end of the rollers pinch together the end, which seals the air in and flattens the material. Garbage bags are made in this fashion.
3. "Injection Molding":http://www.akrylix.com/preview.php?photo=59
With injection molding, melted plastic is pumped into a mold. This process is best suited in the production of large quantities of identical parts. Many every day items from clothes hampers to screwdriver handles are made with injection molding.
4. **Blow Molding**
A conservative amount of soft plastic is forced into the end of a mold with compressed air. The compressed air creates a bubble inside. The plastic is forced to the walls of the mold, filling up the mold. Most plastic pop bottles and infant?s toys are fabricated in this way.
5. **Rotational Molding**
Water barrels and tanks are the most common product fabricated using rotational molding. A mold is partially filled with a powdered plastic. Then the mold is rotated over a big gas burner inside an oven-like device. As the plastic heats up, it sticks to the walls of the mold.
6. **Compression Molding**
Compression molding is used for producing thermoset resin products. *Plexiglass* is not a thermoset plastic. The thermoset resin is placed into a mold under pressure and heated. The pressure and heat is what cures the plastic into the shape of the mold.
7. **Reaction Injection Molding**
This process is based on chemical reaction. Compounds are mixed and sprayed into a mold. The chemical reaction that results will creates a plastic material. Car bumpers are made in this way.
8. **Vacuum Forming**
Vacuum forming is a process that takes a sheet of plastic and places it in a frame above a heating element until it is soft. The sheet within the frame is then placed above a mold that has tiny holes in it, which suck the plastic sheet down around the mold. Products produced this way include the inside of refrigerators, bath and hand-basins, packaging for cosmetics, chocolates, biscuits, some yogurt containers and some disposable cups.

4. ACRYLIC DISPLAYSPlastic Displays Plastic displays - what are they?
Plastic is a common name for Polymers: materials made of long strings of carbon and other elements. Each unit in a string is called a monomer, and is a chemical usually derived from oil. The monomer is made into polymer by chain-linking reactions. This is like making a daisy chain. Instead of flowers, carbon atoms are joined together. The appearance of the daisy chain will be different if you use different colored flowers, and so will polymers. There are many different types of plastic, depending on the starting monomer selected, the length of polymer chains, and the type of modifying compounds added.
Each plastic has been developed for a special purpose. All of the following are widely used in point of purchase displays for trade shows, exhibits, promotional events, hotels, institutions, museums, and the food industry: boxes, bins, shelves, pedestals, fixtures, vitrines, drawers, covers, brackets, frames, components, accessories, podiums, partitions, lenses, diffusers, shades, dividers, literature holders, graphic retainers, models, prototypes, handles, custom fabrications, hemispheres, oven formed, decorative, promotional, advertising objects, signs, trays, guards, dispensers, panels, windshields, tabletops, cabinets, doors, inserts.
Fabrication of displays is accomplished by cutting, drilling, bending, thermoforming, and banding acrylic sheets, rods, or tubing. These displays can be in a variety of forms and sizes. The machines used in fabrication include: table saw, radial arm saw, band saw, jig saw, jointer, router, drill press, shaper, computer, belt sander, strip heater, vertical mill, horizontal mill, engine lathe, disc sander, fixtures, buffer, hydrogen torch, syringe, solvent, clamps, spring clips, and wax. Plastic displays can be used in a large range of environments. Plastics are practical, effective, durable, attractive and popular. Plastics come in two types, thermoplastics and thermosetting. Thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical change with heat and pressure, and set into a permanent shape. Thermosetting plastics cannot be softened by reheating.
Thermoplastics become soft when heated, and harden when cooled, no matter how often the process is repeated. Heating does not change the chemical composition. The properties of plastics that make them attractive are that they are attractive, hard, slippery, soft, rubbery, tough, flexible, insulation from electricity, insulation from heat, light weight, hygienic, non-rusting, easy to shape, easy to color, inexpensive. Both thermosetting and thermoplastic plastics can degenerate.
5. ACRYLIC FABRICATIONAcrylic fabrication is extremely useful. There are countless products fabricated with acrylics. Extrusion, molding, thermoforming, machining, vacuum forming, strip heat bending, milling, drilling, cutting, and polishing are the different ways that acrylic can be fabricated. Polishing acrylic is done by using a torch or a cloth buffer. Acrylic can also be bonded to other acrylic pieces using solvent adhesives or mechanical fasteners. The methods of fabrication depend on the environment and application of the finished products. The customer?s requirements and the number of pieces to be produced are also important factors. Customers that come to us, rely on our years of experience to create products of the highest quality and best cost. Due to the increase in demand, there have been more and more acrylic fabricators entering the market. Acrylic can be fabricated in the following ways:
1. Extrusion
During the extrusion process, melted plastic is squeezed through an orifice to make continuous lengths of special shapes such as tubing. Thick acrylic sheets are also often created this way.
2. Blow Extrusion
Blow Extrusion is primarily used for making bag-like containers and films. While the plastic is still at a high temperature, a nozzle is used to inflate the film with compressed air. Rollers then pinch the ends together to seal and flatten the material. This is the way kitchen garbage bags are made.
3. Injection Molding
With injection molding, melted acrylic is squeezed into a mold. Injection molding is ideally suited for mass production of identical parts. Injection molding is one of the most common methods used for making screwdriver handles and clothes baskets.
4. Blow Molding
In blow molding, compressed air is shot into the end of a mold which has a small amount of heated plastic at the end. A bubble of plastic is created inside the mold, which presses the plastic against the mold walls. Plastic pop bottles and infant?s toys are often made in this way.
5. Rotational Molding
Rotational molding is often used to make products such as plastic footballs and other children?s toys. A calculated amount of powdered plastic is placed inside a split mold. The mold is then spun over heating elements. The melted plastic is forced toward the walls of the mold, and once cool, retain the shape of the mold.
6. Reaction Injection Molding
This type of process is based on a chemical reaction. Different chemical ingredients are mixed and sprayed into a mold. The reaction that results forms a plastic. This is how automobile bumpers are formed.
7. Vacuum Forming
In vacuum forming, thin, sheet material is clamped into a frame, much like a picture frame. The frame is then placed above heating elements and until the plastic is soft. The frame is then moved over a mold that has tiny holes in it. Vacuum is applied which sucks the plastic sheet down around the mold. Some product examples would be refrigerator linings, bathroom sink basins, and some disposable cups.

All of the above are widely used in "point of purchase displays":http://www.akrylix.com/preview.php?photo=76, trade shows, exhibits, promotional events, hotels, institutions, museums, and the food industry. "Acrylic displays":http://www.akrylix.com/preview.php?photo=29 are fabricated by cutting, drilling, bending, thermoforming, and banding acrylic sheets, rods, or tubing. They can be various forms and sizes. Machines used in *fabricating these displays* are table saw, radial arm saw, band saw, jig saw, jointer, router, drill press, shaper, computer, belt sander, strip heater, vertical mill, horizontal mill, engine lathe, disc sander, fixtures, buffer, hydrogen torch, syringe, solvent, clamps, spring clips, and wax. *Acrylic displays* can be used in almost any environment.
They are practical, effective, durable, attractive and in increasing demand. Acrylic is a thermoplastic, which means that it can be heated and reheated in order to bend or mold it. Heating does not change the chemical composition. Other examples of thermoplastics are: acrylo-nitrile (nylon), polyethylene, polypropylene, poly vinyl acetate (PVA), poly vinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene and ABS, and Teflon. The properties of acrylic that make it attractive are that it is attractive, hard, slippery, soft, rubbery, tough, flexible, insulation from electricity, insulation from heat, light weight, hygienic, non-rusting, easy to shape, easy to color, inexpensive. Plastics can degenerate. Most plastics do not rust or corrode like metals. Plastics are made up of long strings like congealed spaghetti. Solvents seep in between the strings, weakening the structure and making it swell. The material usually softens, and all other properties are also affected. Very strong solvents may even break up and dissolve the strings. Other chemicals, and ultra violet light, cause the chain linking reactions of the plastic to continue and accelerate. The plastic becomes hard and brittle, and small cracks begin to appear at the surface. Once these cracks appear, they continue to grow throughout the material. The cracks usually begin in zones of local stress caused by heating, bending, gluing, or welding.
Molded articles may also have internal stress caused by uneven flow of plastic in the molding process. Internal stress can be thought of as neighboring strings within the plastic being stretched by different amounts when the article is made. It is very important for the molds to be properly designed. Plastic sheets may be stored flat, with one sheet upon another on a flat, clean surface, or in a vertical position on edge. The best way to store plastic however, is at a slight angle. The sides should be inclined a few degrees from vertical. When stacking plastic sheets for storage, both sides of the sheets should be brushed, using a soft bristle brush, or soft cloth to remove particles of grit, which may cling to the protective masking paper that sheet stock ships with for protection. This "grit" is attracted by static electrical charge that builds up from the rubbing of the sheets against each other.
