Design Considerations

PLEXIGLAS® acrylic resins from Altuglas International offer:

  • Cost-effective part design
  • Assembly versatility
  • Excellent aesthetics
  • Long service life

 

Plexiglas acrylic resins may be assembled to themselves or other polymers through thermal bonding (welding), mechanical assembly or chemical bonding. Each of these techniques have certain advantages which should be fully understood for proper assembly technique selection. Plexiglas acrylic resins are compatible with each of these techniques. This versatility provides designers with freedom to create attractive, functional parts cost-effectively. The stability of Plexiglas acrylic resin provides for long service life assemblies even under continuous outdoor exposure conditions.

 

Altuglas International has a staff of engineers ready to assist you with Plexiglas acrylic resin part design and assembly technique selection. All Altuglas International resin production facilities carry the ISO 9002 certification. This assures that when Plexiglas resins are specified, you receive the quality your application demands.
