THE UNIQUE SURFACE

Acrylcolor

The outer, coloured acrylic glass coating is scratchproof and highly resistant to weather influences, such as sunlight, wind, rain, cold
and temperature fluctuations. The silk-matt, smooth and non-porous surface is resistant to deposits of dust and dirt and, because there is no flaking or chipping, there is no need for inconvenient repainting. Acrylcolor windows are virtually maintenance-free and extremely easy-care. They repel dirt and can be cleaned with standard cleaning agents. The unsurpassed colourfastness of the acrylcolor profiles remains a fascinating feature for the entire life of the windows.

Scratch-resistant

The hard acrylic surface is scratch-resistant and insensitive. Acrylcolor windows are therefore counted amongst the most resistant of construction elements. Measuring around 0.5 mm, the acrylic layer is thicker than any layer of varnish. Should scratches ever appear on the surface, there is sufficient material left over to buff out the scratch.

Extremely weather resistant

You are on the safe side with acrylcolor profiles. Over the years, acrylic glass has proven its resistance to the effects of aggressive weather in millions of car tail lights. The same material is also used for the surface of acrylcolor profiles. Windows featuring acrylcolor profiles are therefore robust, even under extreme climate conditions.

About the manufacturing process

During co-extrusion, the white PVC substructure and the coloured acrylic glass (PMMA) are permanently fused with one another. Acrylic glass is a high-quality product that has proven its qualities in industrial sectors such as the automotive industry (tail lights) and interior design. The vinyl profile acts as a carrier material, while the thin layer of acrylic glass is responsible for the profiles’ colouring.

1 The white PVC melt is fed via the main extruder
2 The coloured acrylic melt mass is added via a co-extruder
3 The two liquid components are permanently bonded with one another in the co-extrusion tool
4 To achieve a closed surface and a brilliant colour, the profile surface is polished with a grinding machine.
