IMPAX™ PC - High Impact Polycarbonate

Product Description

Zenoplex Illumi is a n new innovation in acrylic light diffusion where an LED light source is utilised.


Produced in a proprietary process, Zenoplex Illumi provides an excellent level of light diffusion, enabling the LED to be at a close distance whilst at the same time hiding the light source.


Designed to optimise the level of illumination, Zenoplex Illumi offers both high light transmission whilst significantly eliminating the possibility of LED “hot spots”. An economical alternative using the highest quality virgin polymer raw material.

Advantages

  • Easily fabricated and thermoformed to a high definition 3 dimensional light fixture.
  • Soft touch velvet finish, with very low gloss level, eliminating glare.
  • Uniform velvet finish, cosmetically pleasing creating a feature point.
  • 100% recyclable product.

Fabrication & Handling

  • Zenoplex Illumi can be thermoformed and cut using standard fabrication processing equipment. Vacuum forming, free blown forming, and line bending are the most extensively used moulding processes, whilst saw cutting, Laser cutting, and routing are the most common cutting techniques.

  • Zenoplex Illumi sheet is easily drilled using ordinary high-speed steel drill bits, air or water can be introduced as a coolant if required (the use of cutting oils may cause crazing).

  • Be extremely careful if using taps or self-tapping screws as acrylic is a notch sensitive material. Rinse sheet with lukewarm water only, do not add detergents or soap to the water.

  • Using a soft, gentle cloth or sponge, lightly wash to loosen any dirt and residue but do not scrub aggressively or use brushes or harsh instruments.

  • Dry with a soft clean cloth to prevent water spotting. Do not clean in direct sunlight if possible.

Available Sizes

  • Thickness: 1.5 - 6.0 mm
  • Width: 600 - 2050 mm
  • Length: 800 - 4000 mm (longer lengths by negotiation)
