  1. AR PET (hardcoated PET film) exterior longevity and PET laminate uses

    I've developed some laserable / engraveable laminates using PET with colored or clear interlayers as spinoff technology from glass laminating, and finding some interesting properties to them, like thermal expansion being half that of other plastics. I am new the whole signage industry, but...
  2. New Product Textured dichroic (color-changing) laser/CNC machineable sheets

The molds are made to form 3D texture into resin infused laminate sheet, then I can cut the molded panel along the outlines of the molded shapes. The cool part is that the CAD files I...

    I've had success adding methylene chloride to Bulldog plastic primer and also thinning down 2 part acrylic cement with MC into sprayable viscosity as a bonding primer for acrylic. Welds itself to the plastic, then topcoat with solvent based coating while tacky. My best coatings are thinning 2...
