New from Amari Plastics
UK distributor of plastic products to the retail and building industries, Amari Plastics, introduces a new range of Plexiglas® Extruded acrylic sheets.
Amari Plastics, the UK’s leading distributor of plastic sheets, rods, tubes and films to the retail and building industries is delighted to announce the introduction of a new range of Plexiglas® Extruded acrylic sheets. Manufactured in Germany by Evonik Industries, Plexiglas is one of the world’s leading branded acrylic sheets and is renowned for its high quality and consistency. Traditionally used in the sign and shop fitting industries for displays, signage and shopfitting, Evonik are now developing new grades of products that, whilst still being applicable for the shop fitting industry, can also be used in new diverse applications in the building, interior decoration and refurbishment markets. The product spearheading this drive is the new Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss. Manufactured using leading edge co-extrusion technology, 2 independent moulding compounds are independently melted and then brought together where they fuse to form a homogenous and inseparable sheet. This co-extruded sheet has no adhesives or bond promoters involved and therefore there are no cavities of joints, just a single solid layer. This gives the Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss a significant advantage over other products or processes that call for subsequent coating, such as painting or lamination.
The Hi-Gloss product consists of a thick glossy layer of clear Plexiglas® but there is a very thin layer of Plexiglas® colour behind the clear. This gives the material the perception of having great depth, and
the gloss clear front enhances the colour making the material stand out. The product is UV stabilised; it is weather resistant; it can be heated and formed in to different shapes – even thermoforming can be performed on the Hi-Gloss without deformation of the sheet. This makes the Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss sheets very suitable for in-store fixtures, displays, furniture, office partioning, indoor and outdoor fixtures and panelling.
The key area that Hi-Gloss has been designed for is the replacement of painted glass in bathrooms and kitchens as a splash back or decorative surface. Hi-Gloss® has 3 significant advantages over the alternative painted glass products – they are that the weight of the Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss is massively lower than the equivalent glass sheet. This makes fitting, handling and installation significantly easier and puts less stress on the fixtures it is being applied to. Furthermore, painted surfaces are much more easily damaged or scratched than the colour layer in Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss – which is protected by the fusing process of co-extrusion. Finally, the Plexiglas sheet is very competitively priced allowing you to meet budget costs and still produce a high quality, long lasting interior.
For bathrooms and shower back panels, Hi-Gloss is the only genuine acrylic solution as it uses an improved patented moulding compound that makes the product resistant to high water temperatures and to wet / dry cycling.
