Acrylic Sheets Offered with Antimicrobial Protection Product
The Acriglas Combinations line from Acrilex Inc. now includes LuciteLux acrylic sheets, which offer built-in Microban antimicrobial product protection to inhibit the growth of odor- and stain-causing bacteria. The partnership allows Acrilex to create a monolithic material that combines custom colors and textures with antimicrobial technology.
Produced by Lucite International, LuciteLux acrylic sheets disrupt bacteria that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration. The antimicrobial protection is expected to work for the lifetime of the product and help maintain surface cleanliness, according to the company. The line is available in a virtually unlimited array of colors and textures, providing customers with clean, durable and uniquely colored surfaces.
“We envision this product as a breakthrough for the medical and architectural communities,” says Dan Rustin, director of new product development at Acrilex. “With our ability to customize the LuciteLux sheets with Microban protection, the marriage of beauty and function is complete.”
He adds that the acrylic sheets can be drilled, routed, laser-cut, glued, formed, hot-stamped, and silk-screened like any other acrylic sheet. All sheets can be custom cut or configured on-site by Acrilex to meet the specifications of a wide variety of applications.
