Acrylic sheet can be joined using Tensol cement or even superglue, also with heat (welding), or by using solvents such as di- or trichloromethane to dissolve the plastic at the joint, which then fuses and sets, forming an almost invisible weld The inks you can use for relief and intaglio printmaking processes are much higher viscosity than drawing inks, with a consistency similar to neat oil or acrylic paint. Relief inks are available in water, acrylic and oil based varieties, while intaglio printing is usually done with stiffer oil based ink, with Akua Intaglio Ink offering a soy based alternative that can be thinned with water. Water washable oil based inks negate the need for using harsh solvents during the clean up operation.
Yes, we do, we sell a variety of Perspex® screens in a variety of sizes and for numerous applications. Our free-standing protection screens are great for counter surfaces, while our desk screens are ideal for placing between colleagues to make your workplace COVID Secure.Lithography requires a very thin layer of ink, and so consequently lithographic ink is highly pigmented, with a relatively stiff oil binder that will not squeeze out of place when pressure is applied to make an impression. Relief ink has been known to be used in place of especially formulated lithographic ink in the past, but it’s key that a lot less ink is used than in relief printing to maintain control over the process. Because lithography works on the principle that oil and water do not mix, it is important to not use water-washable printmaking inks for lithography, as the water/gum arabic solution applied to the plate during the inking up process will dilute the ink you apply to the stone. This will make it possible for ink to adhere to the whole picture plane, when the process requires some degree of oil repelling so that oil only adheres on the image of your print. The transparent design ensures clear communication and the safe exchange of items whilst remaining protected Perspex® screens and any protective screen can be used outside. They are suitable for both indoors and outdoors, and they have excellent weather resistance, and will not corrode, and can be left outside for a long period of time. We already sell freestanding clear Perspex® screens both with and without cutouts depending on what you require.
For industries where solo work is the norm, setting up a socially distanced office is relatively simple. Investing in glazed partitions (freestanding or on wheels) means you can easily set up mini ‘cubicles’ where people can work safely. These can easily be moved around your office as required to allow frequent adaptation as the rules around social distancing change. Our Perspex® acrylic screens can be cleaned with a soft microfiber cloth, and dedicated glass cleaning sprays. We recommend you use two cloths, one to apply and the other to behave as a buff by removing any streaks and smears. Our range of acrylic or glazed screens includes many 'off the shelf' sizes, however, thanks to our manufacturing capabilities, we are able to create personalised bespoke sized screens depending on your requirements. Different shapes, heights, widths can be manufactured. All you need to do is give us a brief on what your layout is and what you are trying to achieve and we can design a solution for you. The best way to stop COVID-19 spreading from person-to-person is to reduce the opportunities the virus has to infect us. Steps you can take include maintaining a safe social distance, wearing a mask over your mouth and nose when out in public, sanitising our hands regularly (or washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, wherever possible) and using protective measures such as PPE and Perspex® screens in our offices, workplaces and public spaces.Perspex® and PLEXIGLASS® are both brands of acrylic plastic. All of the acrylic sheets we supply are Perspex® acrylic. What's the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate? To view everything you need to get started in screen printmaking methods, visit the Screenprinting department. Acrylic glass is 10x stronger than normal glass and also significantly lighter, so you needn’t worry too much about where you place it. Any given acrylic sheet cut to size by The Plastic People also benefits from a surface which is just as crystal clear in its appearance in comparison to glass Please enter how many corners you would like rounded.Ifyou requireless than four corners roundingplease tell us which corners they are.
Each clear sneeze screen is supplied with two stabilising feet or two round base feet and two in-line linking strips which enable you to link multiple screens together in a straight line. Its probably not the greatest material for wear resistance, so discount it for high wear applications. While watercolour from a tube is usually diluted a little with water prior to application, ink is more frequently applied neat.Technical Sheet Frequently Asked Questions for Acrylic Sheets What’s the difference between Perspex®, PLEXIGLASS® and acrylic? Yes, we can cut your sneeze screen to size, we can also provide additional services for CNC cutting, for drilling holes or cutouts. It’s easy to get a quote for clear plastic sheets once you enter your measurements into our quote calculator. For stability, the width of the feet are proportionately relative to the screen height (at ~40% of screen height). So an 800mm high screen will have feet that are ~320mm wide
Acrylic sheets have poor resistance to many chemicals, including acetone, benzene, and liquid chlorine. The Nobo clear acrylic protective partition screen is ideally suited to retail and customer facing environments. This free standing safety screen features a 200mm high transcation window at that the bottom which allows items to be exchanged. The clear acrylic screen divider allows you to communicate whilst remaining protected. Size 700x850mm. Inks formulated for drawing, painting or calligraphy are usually very fluid (somewhere between milk and water in consistency) and vary in transparency, lightfastness and water solubility. Drawing inks can be pigment or dye based – generally dye based inks are less lightfast than those made with pigment, and may fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Waterproof drawing inks tend to be made with pigment and shellac binder (a resin secreted by the lac bug) or an acrylic emulsion, and can be diluted with water while wet. Rewettable water soluble inks offer an open working time, and are suitable for use with refillable fountain pens. There are also permanent water soluble inks than can be diluted in water but once dry can not be rewetted, which are usually better suited to brush or dip pen work.Keeping your Perspex® clean and hygienic is easy to maintain, as all that is required is warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth. Please avoid using abrasive cleaners or materials, as these can scratch the surface of the material. How resistant to scratching are your acrylic sheets? Once you have decided on your tools, you’ll need something to work on. Paper is an obvious choice – and any kind of paper can be used. The colour, texture and absorbency of the paper will impact upon how the ink behaves when applied and the overall finished results. If a paper is not sized or is soft sized (such as printmaking paper), drawing ink is likely to bleed or feather on it when applied. Harder sized watercolour papers may feel slightly scratchy when drawn on with a pen and more suited to crisp fine lines. These differences will play a part in the qualities of your finished work. Other surfaces you can work on are gesso panels – which is smooth with a degree of absorbency, or canvas – the weave of which gives a texture perfect for applying ink with a brush. In addition to boat screens, windshields and windows, Perspex® is often used when manufacturing curved boat windows and screens. Clear acrylic sheets are cheaper and more scratch resistant than polycarbonate, however, Polycarbonate is 30x stronger than acrylic so it is a more impact-resistant alternative.
