{"product_id":"transparant-acrylaat","title":"Acrylic Clear","description":"\u003cp\u003eTransparent acrylic (PMMA), also known under the brand names Plexiglas and Perspex, is a hard, transparent plastic. The material is very stiff and brittle compared to other plastics. Transparent acrylic is UV resistant and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransparent acrylic has many applications, mainly in decorative industries. This acrylic can be found in display cases, interior design, displays, facade advertising, (name) signs, and models, among others. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the material has high impact resistance and is 25 times stronger and 50% lighter than glass, it is often used as a glass replacement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign considerations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are few restrictions when cutting acrylic. For finger joints, it is important to take into account the thickness tolerances of acrylic to prevent internal stresses and thus cracks or breakage. Also, acrylic in thin or long strips is relatively brittle and susceptible to warping due to the heat released during cutting; keep this in mind in the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaser cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic has protective film on both sides, completely protecting the sheets before, during, and after cutting. The cut is clean, smooth, and the same color as the material. Engraved areas have a slightly whiter color compared to the material. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there are only cutting and engraving lines in the design, we leave the film on both sides. If there are engraved areas in the design, we must remove the film from the top, in some cases, a small amount of smoke may mark the material. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePost-processing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn principle, acrylic does not need to be post-processed. The material can be glued, printed, sawn, sanded, milled, and bent afterward. For each operation, it is important to consider that the cutting process puts pressure on the cutting edge, and if the acrylic is then processed, small cracks may sometimes occur. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo give line and surface engravings greater contrast, they can be filled with paint (color fill). When the excess paint is then removed, the paint remains in the grooves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on whether there are engraved areas in the design, the material has protective film on both the front and back, or only the back. Without protective film, the material is susceptible to scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic has a slight surface sheen; surface engravings have a matte white appearance. Engraved lines are clearly visible up close. All parts are packed securely in a box and, if necessary, supported with wood. \u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"laserlokaal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40705324089497,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/laserlokaal.nl\/en\/products\/acrylic-clear","provider":"Het Laser Lokaal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
