The process of making transparent acrylic sheet mainly includes the following steps:
1. **Raw material preparation**:
- According to the needs of the selection of different densities and thicknesses of acrylic particles or plates as raw materials.
2. **Processing molding**:
- Place the acrylic raw material in the molding machine or hot press for heating, so that it softens and molding.
- Processing and molding methods include calendering, extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, etc. Different processing methods are suitable for different acrylic sheet products.
3. **Determine the size**:
- After processing and molding, it is necessary to determine the size and shape of the acrylic sheet by cutting, drilling, polishing, etc. to meet the needs of specific applications.
- When cutting, an opener will be used to cut the acrylic sheet accurately to avoid material waste.
4. **Surface treatment**:
- Surface treatment, such as spraying, embossing, coating, etc., is carried out according to the usage requirements of the acrylic sheet to increase the functionality and aesthetics of the acrylic sheet.
- Especially, after cutting, engraving, punching and other processes, the edges will be polished to remove the rough parts and prevent scratches.
5. **Drying & Polishing**:
- A variety of drying agents are used to dry the acrylic sheet so that it can fully absorb moisture and reduce internal stress.
- Further polishing to ensure the smoothness and transparency of the acrylic sheet surface.
6. **Packaging and transportation**:
- After the above steps, pack the acrylic sheet to ensure that it is not damaged during transportation.
In addition, if you need to print or display brand logos on the acrylic sheet, etc., it will also involve processes such as screen printing. Screen printing is divided into single-color screen printing and four-color (CNYK) screen printing two ways, the specific choice depends on customer demand.
In summary, the production of transparent acrylic sheet is a multi-step, refined process, from the preparation of raw materials to the finished product packaging, each step needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality of the final product.
