Compared with glass, acrylic's excellent light transmittance, light weight, toughness and strength make it very suitable for the production and application of all kinds of signs, light boxes and signs.
With the improvement of the process, the modeling technology of acrylic has become more and more proficient. In addition to the application of various advertising words, more and more acrylic began to enter the field of decoration and become the fire material for background wall decoration, bringing another highly creative solution。
What kind of acrylic material is suitable for wall stickers?
1) Colorless transparent acrylic
Colorless transparent acrylic is the most common material, and there are many kinds of thickness. Transparent acrylic looks the same as glass, and the light transmittance is even better than ordinary glass.
2) Color transparent acrylic
Colored transparent acrylic board is commonly known as color board. Compared with colorless transparent acrylic, it is softer and has various colors. It is very suitable for decoration.
3) Pearlescent acrylic
Pearlescent acrylic is made by mixing pearlescent powder or fluorescent powder into general acrylic. Bright color and high surface finish.
4) Embossed acrylic
It is divided into transparent, translucent, colored and colorless types. You can refer to the texture of embossed glass. Acrylic can also present these shapes as decoration, doors and windows, and can also achieve the effect of light transmission and no perspective.
Processing technology of acrylic wall decorations or stickers
01
Laser engraving
Using flexible laser beam, the laser cutting machine can shape acrylic at will. The acrylic dimension accuracy of laser cutting can reach within mm, the incision is smooth, and the products are more exquisite. Generally, there is no need for post-processing, and it can also produce patterns and shapes that cannot be completed by traditional methods. Therefore, laser cutting has gradually become the most common processing method of acrylic cutting.
02
UV printing / painting
Acrylic can be processed by UV machine. The acrylic surface is smooth. If there is dust in the air in the UV printing environment, it is easy to accumulate on the material surface, resulting in white pattern and omission of other colors.
During UV printing, the height of the nozzle and acrylic should be suitable. If the nozzle is too high or too low from acrylic, the printed image will be blurred or ghosted.
Before UV printing, acrylic should spray a coating on the printing surface, because the surface of acrylic is relatively smooth, and the UV printing image directly on it is easy to scrape off. After spraying the coating, the UV pigment can be better attached to it and not easy to scrape off.
03
Hot bending
When the acrylic material is heated, it will soften. The softened material can be processed according to the shape we need, and the hot bending angle can be controlled according to the model.
Characteristics of acrylic wall decorations or stickers
1. Acrylic materials are environmentally friendly, healthy, formaldehyde free and pollution-free.
2. Acrylic has strong plasticity and can be processed into the required shape at will. The cutting and processing technology is not complex and can meet the needs of background wall customization. The cut pattern text is very clear, and the edges are neat and smooth, making the 3D three-dimensional effect realistic.
3. Acrylic board has good printability and spraying. Using appropriate UV printing and spraying process can give acrylic products ideal surface decoration effect.
4. The wear resistance of acrylic plate is close to that of aluminum, with good stability and corrosion resistance to a variety of chemicals.
5. The light transmittance is high, and the light transmittance of pure acrylic transparent plate is more than 90%. After making the background wall, it is crystal clear, as transparent as crystal.
6. Not afraid of moisture, water, mildew and bacteria. Acrylic's waterproof and moisture-proof ability is very strong. It is used for background wall decoration. There is no need to worry about moisture and mildew.
7. Bring your own back glue and film board paper. Uncover the back glue according to the numbering sequence and stick it at the corresponding position. It is suitable for most walls.
