Special lighting effects allow to achieve extraordinary results, especially for the production of corporate signs and corporate illuminated letters.

  • Changes colour from dark (without back-lighting) to white (with back-lighting)
  • Top side is anti-glare and allows even light diffusion through the sheet
  • Powerful lighting without generating hotspots

Colour change using the same sheet is possible with CRYLUX® Night & Day.

The sheets are ideal to produce corporate signs in indoor or outdoor applications. Let it stand without light during the day, and it will be a dark sign or corporate letter on top of a roof or in the middle of a façade.

When it is back illuminated at night it will become into an outstanding white letter that is visible to all.

Recycled content

The current production of our CRYLUX® cast acrylic sheets already contains a proportion of recycled MMA material. The majority of this material is waste from the manufacturing process which can be completely recycled by means of pyrolysis to provide raw material (MMA) for new acrylic sheets.

CO2 Footprint

Owing to the MMA used as a raw material in the manufacturing process, CRYLUX® contains fossil carbon. However, thanks to its lower density, CRYLUX® PMMA contains less fossil carbon per m2 than other transparent plastics.

CRYLUX®re uses 100% recycled MMA, which significantly reduces the consumption of new materials and makes a valuable contribution to waste and CO2 reduction.

Product life cycle

Acrylic glass (PMMA) is a robust, highly transparent and extremely durable material featuring excellent UV stability and resistance to weathering and ageing. We guarantee a service life of ten years for the CRYLUX® product family. The sheets are protected against the harmful effects of ultra violet rays and there are no significant changes with regard to optical or mechanical properties. When processed, used, and cared for in an appropriate manner, the life cycle of our sheets can be considerably longer than ten years. An extended service life also leads to saving resources as fewer replacements are required. Our CRYLUX® sheets are used in a wide variety of interior and exterior applications where priorities include durability, UV stability and, above all, transparency (92 % light transparency for colourless sheets). CRYLUX® is a product offering sustainable, long-term use and excellent product performance.

Recyclability

CRYLUX® sheets can be converted back into their original raw material, methyl methacrylate (MMA), using various recycling processes. Most modern recycling processes convert PMMA sheets or waste from production processes into a MMA liquid monomer using chemical recycling (depolymerisation). The recovered MMA can then be reused to create a new product from an existing one. Renowned chemical companies are currently undertaking intensive research into improved depolymerisation technologies to achieve a more efficient and sustainable means of recovering the precious raw material MMA, which is used in manufacturing CRYLUX® acrylic sheets. These developments support efforts made by the market to increase the rate of PMMA recycling in Europe.
