Custom Acrylic & Polycarbonate Fabrication Services by Yongrad: Precision Solutions for Diverse Industries
At Yongrad, we specialize in the fabrication of high-quality acrylic (PMMA) and polycarbonate components, providing durable, lightweight, and transparent solutions for various industries. These versatile thermoplastics are known for their exceptional impact resistance, UV protection, and electrical insulation properties, making them ideal for applications that demand reliability and performance.
Why Choose Acrylic & Polycarbonate for Your Projects?
Both acrylic and polycarbonate offer unique advantages that make them ideal substitutes for glass and other traditional materials:
- Shatterproof and Impact Resistant: These materials are exceptionally tough, reducing the risk of breakage and ensuring longevity in demanding environments.
- Weather Resistance: Capable of withstanding fluctuating temperatures, moisture levels, and UV exposure, they are perfect for outdoor applications.
- Lightweight and Transparent: These plastics provide excellent optical clarity while being much lighter than glass, making them easier to handle and install.
- Chemical Resistance: Polycarbonate is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, making it suitable for laboratory and industrial applications.
- UV Protection: Polycarbonate inherently filters UV rays, making it ideal for outdoor structures and eyewear.
- Electrical Insulation: Polycarbonate is a good electrical insulator, making it suitable for electronic components and enclosures.
Yongrad’s Fabrication Capabilities for Acrylic & Polycarbonate
Yongrad utilizes advanced fabrication technologies, including CNC machining, turning, milling, drilling, and boring, to deliver precision-crafted acrylic and polycarbonate products. Our skilled technicians work with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure tight tolerances and consistent quality.
Key Fabrication Processes:
- Turning:
- Uses a lathe to rotate the plastic workpiece while a stationary cutting tool removes material, shaping it to the desired specifications.
- Milling:
- Unlike turning, milling rotates the cutting tool while the workpiece remains fixed. This method is ideal for creating intricate shapes and details.
- Drilling:
- Specialized tools are used to create precise circular holes, ensuring the material remains structurally sound without overheating.
- Boring:
- Expands pre-drilled holes using a single-point cutting tool, perfect for achieving the exact dimensions needed for custom components.
Custom Fabrication Options:
- Sheets, Tubes, and Rods: Available in a variety of sizes, including sheets up to 12 feet long and 5 feet wide.
- UV-Blocking and Fire-Retardant Materials: We offer customization options to enhance the properties of acrylic and polycarbonate for specific applications.
