Plastics processing – Vicenza, Plexiglas Liras

MATERIALS

Accuracy and professionalism in every process

LIRAS has considerable expertise in thermoforming parts made of Plexiglas, polycarbonate, PETG, PVC resistant methacrylate.

Materials that require specific skills and continuous investment in technologies such as 3D LASER finishing that provides extreme accuracy and an excellent finish quality.

Plexiglas production (methacrylate – PMMA – cast or extruded PMMA)

Methacrylate, more commonly known as Plexiglas, is a plastic with an exceptional mechanical resistance and transparency.

It replaces glass due to its transparency, light weight, weather resistance and it is less fragile. Sheets are available in various colors and finishes and they are produced in tubes or bars.

Its main properties are:

High shock resistance
Resistance to chemical agents
Resistant to ageing
Rigidity

Optical purity
Dimensional stability
Easily thermoformed
Easily processed

ACUSTIC PROPERTIES:

Its soundproofing power is slightly higher than that of the glass but, unlike the latter, it is practically constant at any frequency.

Common applications are:

Street furniture (bus shelters, telephone booths, bus stops, supermarkets carts shelters …)
Signs (illuminated signs …)
Construction (Windows, cupolas, vaulted roofs and tunnels, skylights etc.)

Sanitary facilities (shower Cabins.)
Transport (Parasols, RV windows, reflectors, motorcycle windshields, windscreens and nautical portholes, car license plates-furniture …)
Industry (protective cover for cars, glass cabins, cable …)

Polycarbonate processing

It’s completely shock resistant, it works well at elevated temperature, it’s self-extinguishing and in class 1.

It is also produced in ultra-light honeycomb sheets with cavities.

Used in:

Machinery safety guards

Ceiling enclosures and signboards

Doors and walls panels

The advantages:

Extremely shock resistance

High temperature resistance

A good classification of reaction to fire characteristics

Processing (PETG)

A copolyester material of great versatility that is used in particular in the food sector for pieces in direct contact with food.

Used in:

Accident prevention

Machinery Protection
Sports helmets

Advertising

Displays
Light panels
Posters

Lighting

Lamp Covers
Ceiling lights

Food industry

Containers
Refrigerated display cases

The advantages:

Transparency
Toughness even at low temperatures
Thermoformed without drying
Resistance to chemical agents
Ease of recycling

PVC Processing

Manufactured in rigid tubes or plates, it is resistant to acids, inks, and pollutants.

ABS and PMMA (thermoplastic resin) processing

Thermoplastic sheets suitable for vacuum molding to create industrial parts. ABS is characterized by good mechanical strength, high rigidity and good physical properties.

Polyvinyl chloride foam

Commonly called Forex, lightweight and economical, it is suitable for display objects.

Nylon and Polyethylene processing (PA-Polyamide)

Anti-seize material par excellence, suitable for the mechanical processing of technical parts. It is also produced in tubes and bars.
