1. ABS Plastic Sheet | Black ABS Sheet | Textured | Haircell

ABS Plastic Sheets are a combination of three different materials Acrylonitrile, Butadiene, and Styrene, each giving its own set of useful properties.  ABS provides an optimum balance of tensile impact strengths. It features ease of forming, excellent toughness and rigidity and is particularly good for deep draw vacuum forming for products likely to receive abuse in the form of knocks, scuffing and scratching. ABS also has ecellent chemical resistance. Mulford offers a variety of grades of ABS including specialist high heat and flame retardant resins as well as different finishes.

 

ABS sheet is stocked in a Gloss and Hair-cell finish in Black and White from 1.0mm to 4.5mm in a 2440 x 1220mm sheet size. UV stabilised ABS panels are also available upon request.

2. ASA Sheet | Acrylic | Styrene | Acrylonitrile

ASA sheet (Acrylic, Styrene, and Acrylonitrile) has significantly improved weatherability performance compared to that of other styrene materials. The acrylate rubber system has better resistance to UV radiation and attack from atmospheric oxygen than the butadiene rubber system in ABS. Polymers exposed to a combination of heat, UV degradation and atmospheric oxygen over extended periods of time can have their properties severely affected. Retention of physical properties, especially toughness, is paramount in most outdoor applications.

 

Not only can the physical performance of a part deteriorate but yellowing, reduction in gloss and discolouration can also occur. Low levels of yellowing are extremely important for applications where long term aesthetic and appearance is important. When it comes to yellowing and gloss retention ASA is significantly better than ABS which shows signs of losing gloss more rapidly. The ASA material will exhibit far superior gloss retention properties than either of the other two styrene materials.

3. Cell Cast Acrylic Sheet

Cell Cast Acrylic Sheet is one of the most widely used grades of acrylic sheet in today’s market. Acrylic sheet is available in clear, opal, black, white and other colours such as green, red, blue and yellow across a number of thickness and sheet sizes. Acrylic can be cut, drilled, glued, thermoformed, bent, machined, polished and engraved. It is lighter yet stronger than glass and has superb clarity, rigidity and surface hardness making it an extremely versatile material.

 

Acrylic sheeting is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and has excellent weatherability and is resistant to most common chemicals including acids, alkalis, oils and greases; it is a suitable choice for numerous signage and POS display applications.

 

Acrylic sheets are available in sizes from 2000mm x 1000mm through to 3050mm x 2050mm across a wide range of colours including red, green, orange, blue, yellow, opal, clear in addition to black and white.

5. HDPE

High Density Polyethylene also referred to as HDPE sheet is manufactured from the semi-crystalline polyethylene (PE) family and exhibits the properties of high impact strength, abrasion resistance, and low coefficient of friction. The material is also moisture, stain and odour resistant, and is FDA approved to be used in the food processing industry. The material's durability makes it ideally suited for a variety of applications such as water tanks, chute linings and numerous industrial uses. There are two grades of HDPE sheet available via Mulford plastics.

 

These various grades include Metzler PE100 HDPE and Ralloy industrial HDPE. Ralloy is available in both Black and Natural sheet whilst PE100 Pipe Grade HDPE sheet is available in black only.

6. HIPS

HIPS or High Impact Polystyrene sheet is obtained by blending standard styrene with impact-improving additives. Due to the combination of versatility, easy processing and good value polystyrene is one of the largest volume thermoforming plastics. The surface allows for good ink adhesion with the end product rich in looking, durable and functional. It is available in opaque white and black sheet and is most often used in applications of temporary or disposable nature.

10. Ralloy Signboard
Ralloy Signboard is manufactured by extruding one colour on the inside and a contrasting colour on the outside. The layers are combined while the material is still molten. The result is a homogenous sheet that is guaranteed not to delaminate, crack or chip. It is superior to other sign materials, which are separate layers of material laminated together. Ralloy Sign Board is easily routed or engraved using current CNC router technology. As the skin of the material is removed by the router, the inside colour shows through, a sign is easily fabricated with minimum finishing requirements. The durable textured finish resists scratches and marring. The product is UV stabilized to resist deterioration in harsh outdoor environments, making it the perfect signage material.
