Plastic Express is a manufacturer of plastic and methacrylate products (also known as Plexiglass, PMMA or acrylic plastic) with broad experience in this business. We have excellent state-of-the-art machinery to perform the most accurate finishes in both large and small production runs, whilst always providing the best value for money.
The main international firms endorse our impeccable professionalism with their confidence and allow us to be an international reference. We offer our customers different types of acrylic plastic, as well as different articles and services related to this material.
As a general rule, there are two types of Plexiglass acrylic plastic: extruded methacrylate and cast methacrylate. They have many similarities, but the truth is that they are two different products. Their main difference lies in the manufacturing technique of each of them.
The more traditional and artisanal method of creating acrylic plastic is by casting. This directly influences a slower production of Plexiglass sheets and provides a more limited length. Extrusion Plexiglass, on the other hand, is obtained through a faster and more time-consuming production process, although the overall process is ultimately optimised.
Extrusion methacrylate offers the possibility of generating 6-metre long sheets, but it is true that a greater variety of them can be obtained in the casting, in terms of thickness, colours or special types. It is therefore striking that, between the two possibilities, a more uniform calibre for Plexiglass sheets is the extrusion method and a greater thickness tolerance is detected for cast methacrylate.
This material can also be transparent, coloured or printed Plexiglass. The transparent one is one of the most used thanks to its excellent functionality, as it allows to protect different objects or spaces inside without blocking the view of them from the outside.
Plexiglass acrylic plastic sheets in different colours are ideal for interior design and to create much more cheerful environments, they can be authentically stylish products at a much lower cost than other materials. Finally, PMMA prints can be really useful for companies that can put their logos, for marketing elements, for informative notices and for anything else you want, since the prints can be completely personalised.
According to their colours and characteristics they can be divided into:

Transparent or coloured Plexiglass can give a lot of play, so using this material can give rise to very different articles and objects. There is the possibility of cutting the methacrylate to make pieces to taste, to fit as each person wants, and even from our factory we practice the laser cutting of methacrylate for greater precision in the finishes.
With the expansion of Covid 19 a lot of new safety measures were imposed in different businesses, and one of the most affected is the hospitality industry. In these places, it has been made compulsory to install certain separation and protection measures, and Plexiglass protective screens have become one of the most efficient.
Nowadays, the entrance of any service premises is equipped with hydroalcoholic gel and there are many areas that require a certain degree of safety between people, for which this type of screen is ideal.
Transparent Plexiglass is the material used to make them. Thus, visibility is completely clear while protection is also provided. They can also be used to separate public transport drivers from customers, to protect pharmacists or people at supermarket checkouts. These screens are becoming increasingly useful at a time when security measures seem to have no end in sight.
Acrylic plastic boxes are articles with hundreds of uses and can be made in different sizes, according to taste. This material is widely used to store nothing less than jelly beans, something that is done in kiosks, supermarkets and can also be done in private homes. This material allows you to keep the inside visible as it is transparent and to protect it at the same time.
They are also used to store models inside, they are ideal to expose any delicate material inside and give it the necessary visibility. They are also used to store shoes using the same criteria: the materials remain well protected while the design of the shoes and their colour can be seen from the outside.
Plexiglass displays can be found and manufactured in all shapes and sizes, for everything imaginable. It is one of the most interesting materials when it comes to displaying products for sale in a shop and can be used for all kinds of objects, from displaying mobile phones to confectionery pastries.
Moreover, these displays can be of all kinds of shapes depending on the needs of each business. It is a material with few limits when it comes to construction, so there is the possibility of manufacturing almost anything that a brand or business can think of and may need as a display element.
Methacrylate, also known by its acronym PMMA, is one of the engineering plastics. Acrylic sheets are obtained from the polymerisation of methyl methacrylate and the most common presentation found in the plastics industry is in granules or sheets, which is how we know and market it.
It can be an excellent competitor with other materials and plastics in terms of use, but acrylic stands out from other transparent plastics in terms of weather resistance, superb transparency and broad scratch resistance.
Because of these qualities, it is used not only for all those items we work with that are used in marketing, retail and hospitality, but also in the automotive industry for locations such as car headlights, lighting, cosmetics, construction and optics, among many others.
Polymethylmethacrylate resin is also used in the medical sector, in this case for the manufacture of bone and dental prostheses and as a powder additive in the formulation of many of the tablets that are manufactured for oral consumption. In this case, it acts as a retardant to the action of the medicine for those with a progressive effect throughout the day.
As you can see, it is a very versatile material that can be used to manufacture hundreds of articles for different purposes. Many sectors rely on it for different structures and it is perfect for any business that also wants to establish health safety measures.
