Do Plazcast colored sheets can be cut with laser?
Although the basic formulation (of the colorless one) is already fit to give a good cut with laser, the effect of the color (colouring/pigment) and their sinergique effects are very important. We have observed that some references of color, with base organic pigment, can present chromatic alterations. Since it has been impossible to relate this effect to the presence in the formulation of a product in particular and of the influence of the equipment of it cuts laser in the same, we recommended that the costumer makes the pertinent verifications with a sample, before accepting the order.
What we must to consider with sheets of more than 10mm colored transparent
It is important to specify whether the costumer's interest that the edge is very bright or the color of the sheet is equal to the sample of 3mm, as more thick, if it matches the color of the sheet, the edge appears less intense.
On the contrary if it matches the intensity of the edge of a sample of 3-4mm, the sheet will look much darker.
It should be noted that the behaviour of diffusion of light can vary depending on the thickness, and therefore recommends always do tests on a sample of the thickness you want to use.
How can we distinguish if a material is acrylic or extrusion casting?
The acrylic extrusion has a different behavior to casting, and to differentiate stool can be a lot of laboratory tests (Vicat, resisténci chemistry, molecular weight, etc.). But the easiest way to distinguish them is by analysing their behaviour in fire. If approaching a flame (lighter) to a corner until pledge, and we note that crackles to burn (i do not fall lit drops), we can say that this material is acrylic casting. If acrylic extrusion drops would fall on.
Finally, if you blow to extinguish the flame, and then touch the surface burnt with another piece of metarcilato, and to separate them that we were stuck and emerging threads, we can confirm that it methacrylate extrsión. The methacrylate casting never seen threads.

What tolerance has according to the measures?
The tolerances of vitroflex sheets are defined by ISO 7823/1. The thickness has a margin of variation defined by the formula ± (0,4+0,1s), where " s" it is the thickness. As far as the measures a variation is guaranteed inferior to ±1mm. In case of needing precisions superiors one will be due to specify in the order.
Are two sides the same color?
The vitroflex sheets take a self-adhesive polythene white foil and in the other side a colorless one to be able to differentiate them. Although the differences are imperceptible between the sides, it is recommended whenever it is possible to use the face that takes the colorless foil.
Is there a minimum quantity to produce?
There is no a minimum quantity. The unit is the sheet of 3050x2030mm, and based on the thickness, color and amount of pieces, the price varies.
Do vitroflex sheets must be curing before thermoforming?
How can we handle (milling, cutting, turning, etc.) vitroflex standard?
The casting methacrylate (vitroflex), can be manipulated in a manner similar to the wood. If you want to refrigerate the area where mechanization, not ever use cooling lubricants and other liquids cooling, but simply water.
Must be borne in mind that if we use colored plates, the concentration of color is inversely proportional to the thickness of the plate, doing this that if a plate mm the FERS 3mm to cut through, that area will present a stain less intense than that given by a plate of the same color produced in 3mm.
If you want to have in the same area reduced the original color must be specified in the order. As a precaution, i minimize the effect of canvi color, it is recommended always make the recesses by the side of transparent sheet.
