Acrylic splicing technology

Acrylic splicing technology: a perfect combination of materials and craftsmanship

Acrylic is a polymer material with excellent performance, characterized by high transparency, good processability, and strong weather resistance. It is widely used in fields such as architecture, decoration, and lighting. In the production process of large acrylic products, it is often necessary to splice multiple acrylic panels together. This article will introduce an acrylic splicing technology, which includes steps such as interface preparation, polishing, cleaning, closing end caps, reserved risers, preparation of fillers, injection, drying, exhaust, and polishing.

1、 Interface preparation

Before splicing, it is necessary to clean the interface to ensure that it is free of dust, oil, and impurities. Alcohol or acetone can be used to wipe the surface to remove dust and grease.

2、 Polishing and grinding

In order to improve the bonding effect, it is necessary to polish the surface of the acrylic board. Sandpaper or polishing machine can be used for polishing to increase the bonding area and strength.

3、 Cleaning

After polishing, the surface needs to be cleaned to ensure that there are no residues or impurities. Alcohol or acetone can be used to wipe the surface to remove residues and grease.

4、 Closed end cover

In order to prevent leakage and aesthetics of the filling material, it is necessary to seal both ends of the splice. Special sealing materials can be used for sealing to ensure the sealing and aesthetics of the filling material.

5、 Reserved riser

In order to facilitate exhaust and overflow of filling materials, it is necessary to reserve a certain riser at the splicing point. The depth and size of the riser need to be designed according to the actual situation.

6、 Preparation of filling materials

Select appropriate fillers as needed, such as acrylic ester, polyurethane, etc. Mix the filling material according to the specified proportion and stir evenly to ensure the viscosity and fluidity of the filling material.

7、 Injection material

Inject the filling material into the splice and ensure uniform distribution of the filling material. Syringes or pressure pumps can be used for injection to ensure sufficient and uniform filling material.

8、 Drying

After injection, drying treatment is required to remove moisture and solvents from the filling material. The drying temperature and time need to be controlled according to the actual situation to ensure the curing effect and bonding strength of the filling material.

9、 Exhaust

After drying, exhaust treatment is required to remove air and residue inside the splice. Compressed air or manual exhaust can be used to ensure cleanliness and compactness inside the joint.

10、 Grinding

After exhaust, polishing treatment is required to remove surface irregularities and improve bonding effect. Sandpaper or a grinder can be used for polishing to ensure a flat and smooth surface.

In summary, the acrylic splicing technology requires multiple steps to complete. By strictly controlling the steps of interface preparation, polishing, cleaning, sealing end caps, reserving risers, filling material preparation, injection, drying, exhaust, and polishing, high-quality acrylic products can be produced. In the actual operation process, adjustments and optimizations need to be made according to the actual situation to ensure the best splicing effect.
