Applications

Yes.  Recrylic looks, works and performs the same as virgin cast acrylic.  In the vast majority of cases, it can be used as a more sustainable alternative.

Recrylic is a great option almost anywhere virgin cast acrylic is used.  Some examples include:

Retail displays
LED fixtures
Interior and exterior signs2D and 3D artwork
Photo prints
Wall panels
Window frames
ATM and digital screen surrounds
Table and countertops
Architectural + design features
Light guide plates
High-precision products
Many more.

There are a few types of specialty acrylic in which Recrylic is not yet available.  For example:

Added UV protection.  Like any acrylic, Recrylic carries some inherent UV protection.  However, some museum displays use acrylic that has specially added UV filters.  These are not currently available with Recrylic.

Anti-glare applications.  Likewise, Recrylic is not available with anti-glare additives.  However, glare can also often be reduced by other methods such as printing or finishing standard Recrylic.

Extruded acrylic applications.  Currently, Recrylic is available as cast acrylic only.

Before entering the market, Recrylic was tested extensively to ensure that it looks, works and performs the same as virgin cast acrylic.  These tests include (but are not limited to):

CNC, router and saw cutting
Laser etching and cutting
Polishing, sanding and finishing
Heat-forming (drape and vacuum forming)
Printing, paint and lamination
Gluing and joining

Our acrylic fabrication experts tested recycled samples for years in a continuous improvement process to ensure that the end product would meet all needs.  Recrylic was introduced only after passing all of these and other tests.

No.  As expected from our testing, Recrylic has performed the same as virgin cast acrylic in all respects.
