Why we prefer supplying customers with Cast Acrylic
Cast acrylic is a popular material for sublimation because of its superior quality and benefits over extruded acrylic. As a company, we stand out above our competitors by using cast acrylic for our customers. Here are some of the reasons why:
-
Higher clarity: Cast acrylic has a higher level of clarity than extruded acrylic. This means that the final product will have a more vibrant and clearer image after sublimation.
-
Better surface finish: Cast acrylic has a smoother surface finish than extruded acrylic, which means that there are fewer imperfections that could affect the quality of the sublimation image.
-
Thicker sheets available: Cast acrylic is available in thicker sheets than extruded acrylic. This means that we can create larger and more complex shapes without compromising the structural integrity of the final product.
-
More resistant to scratches: Cast acrylic is more resistant to scratches than extruded acrylic. This is important because scratches can affect the clarity of the sublimation image.
-
Better resistance to UV light: Cast acrylic has better resistance to UV light than extruded acrylic. This means that the final product will not yellow or fade over time when exposed to sunlight.
-
Easier to machine: Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. This means that we can create more intricate designs with greater precision.
-
More environmentally friendly: Cast acrylic is more environmentally friendly than extruded acrylic. This is because it can be recycled more easily and has a lower carbon footprint.
- Higher heat resistance: Cast acrylic has a higher tolerance for heat than extruded acrylic. This means the cast acrylic will not warp as much as extruded acrylic when sublimating images with heat.
Overall, using cast acrylic for sublimation offers many benefits over extruded acrylic. By choosing to use cast acrylic, we can provide our customers with a superior product that has better clarity, surface finish, scratch resistance, UV resistance, and is more environmentally friendly. These factors make our company stand out above our competitors, and we are proud to offer our customers the best possible product. You will notice our cast acrylic has green protective sheeting on where competitors have blue protective sheeting on (meaning it is extruded acrylic)
