What is Acrylic Modular Kitchen?

​

If you are researching about modular kitchen, you must have come across a term called "Acrylic Finish". In this blog we will go in depth to understand Acrylic Modular Kitchen, and how you can buy Acrylic Modular Kitchen in Delhi or Gurgaon?

 

Acrylic plastic refers to a family of synthetic, or man-made, plastic materials containing one or more derivatives of acrylic acid. The most common acrylic plastic is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It can be colored, molded, cut, drilled, and formed. These properties make it ideal for many applications including airplane windshields, skylights, automobile taillights, and outdoor signs.

 

Acrylic plastics are available in three forms: flat sheets, elongated shapes (rods and tubes), and molding powder. Acrylic plastic sheets are formed by a process known as bulk polymerization. In this process, the monomer and catalyst are poured into a mold where the reaction takes place.

 

In Modular kitchen, Acrylic sheets are pasted on MDF, HDF or HDHMR Board or even Ply Board. Acrylic is a non-toxic, reflective high gloss and gives your modular kitchen a fresh, shiny and glossy look. As mentioned earlier, Acrylic can be coloured and therefore comes in wide range of colours.
