Everything You Need to Know About Acrylic Moulding

Acrylic is a clear thermoplastic homopolymer which has glass like optical qualities. It is resistant to ultraviolet and fluorescent lighting effects with resistant to scratching and excellent durability. Because of such qualities, you can use this versatile material to make wide range of products ranging from stands to trophies to decorative items.

Moulding is an important process in shaping acrylic and to give it a definitive shape and form. Let’s learn about how injection moulding helps in the process of acrylic moulding.

Prepare and clean materials

  •          Bring all the acrylics from drying chambers
  •         Wear all the protective gear required
  •         Clean the feeder hopper to prevent contamination

Feed acrylic pieces into barrel

  •           Cut the dried acrylic into smaller pieces
  •           Feed the small acrylic pieces to the barrel

Begin moulding process

Switch on the machine and it will start operating by turning on the screw. By turning of this screw the acrylic will start heating to a suitable temperature. The machine will also mix all the acrylic materials. Then pour the molten state into the mould and the acrylic will start taking the shape of that particular mould.

Cool the acrylic mould

Now after the acrylic has been poured into the mould, it has to be allowed to cool off and hardened. You need to control the time of cooling to avoid excess shrinkage and warping of the acrylic mould. Cooling agents like water can used for cooling the acrylic mould.

Some benefits of acrylic moulding are:

  •           Excellent optical clarity
  •           High resistance to light
  •           Water absorption is low
  •           Doesn’t contain toxic composition
  •           Moulds are recyclable
