Pro Tip:
For CNC routing or die-cutting, secure ACP panels with a jig to prevent movement and use appropriate bits or blades for clean edges. Remove film masking after fabrication to protect the glossy finish. For printing, ensure compatibility with UV, latex, or solvent-based inks for vibrant results, and test adhesion on a small area first. Clean surfaces with a soft cloth and mild cleaner to maintain the white finish. Store panels flat in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent warping or surface damage.
FAQs:
Is white ACP good for printing? Yes, the ultra-smooth surface offers excellent ink adhesion for UV, latex, and solvent-based inks, ideal for vibrant signage or displays.
Can I use this outdoors? Yes, ACP’s weather and corrosion-resistant properties make it perfect for outdoor signage or cladding without additional coating.
Is it safe for school projects? Yes, it’s safe for general use, but wear gloves to handle cut edges, and ensure proper ventilation during CNC routing.
Can I paint or vinyl wrap it? Yes, the glossy surface supports painting with compatible paints or vinyl wrapping for custom designs.
Why isn’t it suitable for laser cutting? The polyethylene core and aluminum facers can release toxic fumes or reflect laser beams, risking damage to the laser and poor results.
How does ACP differ from solid aluminum? ACP’s polyethylene core makes it lighter and more cost-effective than solid aluminum, while maintaining rigidity and durability for signage and displays.
Why remove the film masking after fabrication? Removing the film post-fabrication protects the glossy finish from scratches during handling, ensuring a clean, professional look.
