How do you make Acriglas ®?

Well I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!

Seriously though, we make Acriglas through a process called Cell casting. The technology is almost a century old, and nothing revolutionary has come along to change it much, but what we do to achieve some of our special effects is proprietary.

No other manufacturer of cast acrylic has figured out how to cast a "brushed metallic" acrylic sheet, but Acrilex. And as for Acrifluor, we again are the only manufacturers of a translucent fluorescent product in acrylic, which has the properties of light diffusion that it exhibits.

And while other manufacturers overseas can produce pearlescent, marble, granite and metallic colors, none can offer the degree of customization offered by Acrilex, especially in short run quantities, with the consistent quality of Acriglas. And none can turn around and order in less than two weeks. Our magic is very special. We are very proud of what we can do, and love the challenges our customers send our way.
