Acrylic has become one of the most popular materials in the creative fabrication and signage industry. Known scientifically as Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), this synthetic polymer offers a unique combination of durability, clarity, and aesthetic flexibility, making it a preferred alternative to traditional glass.
At AJM Creation, acrylic is central to many of our high-quality products. Understanding the different types of acrylic can help you choose the right material for your specific project.
1. Clear Acrylic (Akrilik Bening)
Clear acrylic is highly valued for its optical clarity. It transmits up to 92% of visible light, making it clearer than standard glass while being half the weight and significantly more impact-resistant. This material is ideal for:
- Protective screens and barriers.
- Premium minimalist signage.
- Display cases and exhibition stands.
2. Milky White Acrylic (Akrilik Putih Susu)
Milky white acrylic has a translucent quality that diffuses light beautifully. It is the standard choice for backlit applications because it hides the hot spots of LED lights behind it, creating an even, glowing surface. Common applications include:
- Lightboxes (Neon Box).
- Illuminated letter boxes.
- Backlit indoor displays.
3. Chalk White Acrylic (Akrilik Putih Kapur)
Unlike the translucent milky white, chalk white acrylic is more opaque and matte. It provides a solid, clean, and modern look that does not diffuse light in the same way, making it excellent for high-contrast designs. It is commonly used for:
- Non-illuminated signs and directory boards.
- Modern minimalist menu boards.
- In-store branding elements.
4. Colored Acrylic (Akrilik Warna)
Colored acrylic sheets are available in various vibrant hues. They retain all the physical benefits of standard acrylic—weather resistance, lightweight, and easy to shape—while adding a bold visual identity. These are perfect for:
- Eye-catching brand logos and letter boxes.
- Decorative panels.
- Custom creative signage.
Why Choose Acrylic?
- Durability: Acrylic is highly resistant to weather and UV radiation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations in BSD, Tangerang, and beyond.
- Safety: It is shatterproof compared to glass, reducing the risk of injury during transport or installation.
- Workability: Acrylic can be easily laser-cut, engraved, and thermoformed into complex shapes like custom letter boxes and custom signage.
