Our plastic materials

Properties

• Available thicknesses: 10 mm, 19 mm and 30 mm
• Cutting process: milling

Expanded PVC is a plastic material offering lightness and rigidity. It is obtained hot from polyvinyl chloride foam, creating a homogeneous closed-cell structure with a dense surface skin.

Appearance

Expanded PVC is dyed in the mass and of uniform white color.

• Surface appearance: smooth and semi-gloss
• Edge appearance: matte micro-porous appearance characteristic of the cellular structure, with slight stratification sometimes visible on thick gauges. Despite this appearance, the closed cells guarantee total watertightness without risk of water infiltration.

Applications

Weather resistant, it is suitable for both long-term indoor and outdoor use. Also suitable for coloring with paint.
The range of thicknesses offers great creative freedom to play with reliefs according to the scale of the project. A sure value in signage, white expanded PVC ensures strong contrast and optimal readability for sign letters on dark to medium-light backgrounds.

Origins

We exclusively use the reference white expanded PVC brand Komacel®, produced by a European manufacturer recognized for its compliance with the most demanding standards. This qualitative choice guarantees excellent stability of the material over time as well as a safe composition without risk of harmfulness.

Expanded PVC is a plastic material offering lightness and rigidity. It is obtained hot from polyvinyl chloride foam, creating a homogeneous closed-cell structure with a dense surface skin.

Appearance

Expanded PVC is dyed in the mass and of uniform black color.

• Surface appearance: uniform and semi-matte (satin)
• Edge appearance: matte micro-porous appearance characteristic of the cellular structure, with slight stratification sometimes visible on thick gauges. Despite this appearance, the closed cells guarantee total watertightness without risk of water infiltration.

Applications

Weather resistant, it is suitable for both long-term indoor and outdoor use. Also suitable for coloring with paint.
The range of thicknesses offers great creative freedom to play with reliefs according to the scale of the project. A sure value in signage, black expanded PVC ensures strong contrast and optimal readability for sign letters on light to medium-dark backgrounds.

Origins

We mainly use the reference black expanded PVC brand Forex®, produced by a European manufacturer recognized for its compliance with the most demanding standards. This qualitative choice guarantees excellent stability of the material over time as well as a safe composition without risk of harmfulness.

Properties

• Thickness: 3 mm
• Cutting process: laser

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), also known as plexiglas, is a thermoplastic polymer offering excellent resistance to UV and weather conditions, and is particularly suitable for laser cutting.

Appearance

• Surface appearance: available in glossy or matte finish
• Edge appearance: glossy

Applications

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. A preferred material for precision signage and high-end decorative applications, laser cutting of PMMA allows for exceptional fineness, ideal for small lettering and detailed logos where PVC milling is required for larger signs. Both materials can also complement each other harmoniously on the same project depending on scales and needs. The white/black range in glossy or matte finishes allows for great creative freedom and guarantees optimal contrast and legibility in signage.

Origins

We exclusively use cast PMMA from recognized European brands for their compliance with the most demanding standards. This qualitative choice guarantees a perfect finish of the material as well as a safe composition without risk of toxicity.

Properties

• Available thicknesses: 3 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm
• Cutting process: laser (mainly) or milling
• Engraving processes: laser

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), commonly called plexiglas or acrylic glass, is a transparent thermoplastic combining exceptional optical clarity and excellent impact resistance. It is particularly suitable for laser cutting.

Appearance

Gloss and transparency comparable to glass.

• Surface appearance: glossy
• Edge appearance: glossy (laser cut) or matte (milled)

Applications

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, transparent PMMA allows for the creation of cut lettering or logos with a crystalline look, or even contemporary decorative objects. Its transparency and cutting fineness offer a true alternative to glass, for a premium finish with complete safety.

Properties

• Thickness: 3 mm
• Cutting process: laser

Mirror PMMA is a transparent extruded PMMA with a fully reflective layer on one side, suitable for laser cutting.

Appearance

• Face appearance: reflective like a real mirror
• Edge appearance: smooth

Applications

Suitable for indoor use only. Laser cutting mirror PMMA allows for the precise creation of small mirror parts, with complex shapes or fine details, ideal for interior decoration. Also perfect for signage and wall lettering with a chrome or shiny gold effect. For an outdoor mirror project we recommend considering mirror Alu-Dibond.

Origins

European-made extruded PMMA.
