Frequently Asked Questions
Can this 100% recycled satin acrylic sheet be used outdoors?
Yes. The sheet incorporates UV-resistant properties, making it suitable for many outdoor applications such as signage and cladding. As with all plastics, long-term performance will depend on installation design and exposure conditions, so appropriate fixing and support are recommended.
How can I cut and machine the Opal 61100 recycled acrylic sheet?
The sheet can be cut and machined using standard tools for plastics, such as fine-toothed circular saws, routers and laser cutters where appropriate. Ensure tools are sharp and feed rates are controlled to minimise chipping or heat build-up, and always follow suitable safety and handling procedures.
Is the light transmission of the opal sheet suitable for backlighting and illuminated signs?
Yes. The opal 61100 grade is designed to diffuse light evenly, helping to reduce hotspots and glare in backlit and illuminated applications. It is well suited to light boxes, illuminated logos and display panels where a uniform, soft glow is required.
