Plexiglas, also known as acrylic glass or Plexiglas, is a plastic material that is gaining popularity in both modern interior design and carpentry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main reasons for this interest are the versatile application possibilities and the easy processing, which can be conducted using standard power tools. In contrast to traditional glass, Plexiglas has several important advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important of these is its high resistance to breakage, while maintaining high optical quality and excellent light transmission. In addition, Plexiglas is also characterised by significant weather resistance, making it an ideal material for outdoor applications. The ability to be easily processed allows a wide variety of cut-outs and forms to be created, without much difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in a variety of colours, Plexiglas is popular in the advertising industry, where it is used to produce displays, advertising coffers or trade fair stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plexiglas and glass - the differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When comparing Plexiglas with other similar materials, such as glass, there are several important differences. Plexiglass is lighter than glass, making it easier to manage and install. It is also more shatterproof, making it safer to use. However, glass can have a slightly better optical quality than Plexiglas, although this difference is minimal and usually not noticeable in many applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I choose cutters for Plexiglas?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perfectly finishing the edges of Plexiglas can be a challenge, but this problem is solved by the new ST36 range of cutters. These specially designed tools are perfect for machining polymethylmethacrylate, or Plexiglas, and other plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes the ST36 series of Plexiglas cutters stand out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
