American Acrylic Corporation manufactures reinforced flat plastic sheets in a compression-molding process. In the manufacturing process, liquid resins and reinforcements are combined and molded into reinforced flat sheets at elevated temperature and pressure.
American Acrylic Corporation was incorporated in the spring of 1964. The Company was started to manufacture attractive reinforced acrylic sheets for lighting and decorative applications. Some of the original technology resulted from research and development at the DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware.
