Description

Acrylic Plastic Sheets are formed by a process known as Bulk Polymerization. In this process, the Monomer and Catalyst are poured into a Mold where the Reaction takes place. Two Methods of Bulk Polymerization may be used: Batch Cell or Continuous. Batch Cell is the most common because it is simple and is easily adapted for making Acrylic Sheets in Thicknesses from 0.06 to 6.0 inches (0.16-15 cm) and Widths from 3 feet (0.9 m) up to several hundred feet. The Batch Cell Method may also be used to form Rods and Tubes. The Continuous Method is quicker and involves less labor. It is used to make Sheets of thinner thicknesses and smaller widths than those produced by the Batch Cell method.
