Acrylic Backing
Acrylic backing application is used for the reinforcement of acrylic sheets, especially for acrylic bath tubs. Polipol 341-TA-White with 30% or 40% filler (calcite) content has excellent adhesion on acrylic sheets. Polipol 342-TA-D40-White is recommended for ABS sheet backing applications.
Polipol 341-TA-D40-White, used in shower trays and bases, has excellent adhesion to acrylic sheets with very good fiber wet-out.

Acrylic Vacuum Forming Application
① Heat acrylic sheet to softening point.
② Mount soft sheet on the mold and apply vacuum pressure to get the desired shape.
③ Demold the sheet and cool down.
Note: In order to have uniform thickness through out the sheet, it is important to have a good mold designed for vacuuming.
Acrylic Backing Application
① Incorporate desired amount of filler into Polipol 341-TA White and connect to spray up machine.
② Adjust peroxide ratio and pressure of the gun according to application environment.
③ Adjust chopper fiber/resin ratio.
④ Spray catalyzed resin with chopped glassfibers on the sheet.
⑤ It is possible to insert hardboards at this stage if needed.
⑥ Spray more catalyzed resin with chopped glassfibers.
⑦ Release trapped air with the help of a roller and brush.
⑧ Reinforced acrylic sheets are cured in curing oven at temperatures between 40-50°C.
⑨ After curing, trim the edges and mount accessories.
