Slumped acrylic is a heat-forming technique where acrylic sheet is heated and allowed to 'slump' or drape over a mould, creating organic, flowing shapes. This technique produces stunning curved and shaped acrylic pieces for architectural, artistic, and commercial applications.
Holland Plastics specialises in custom slumped acrylic forming for architectural features, curved sneeze guards, display cases, and artistic installations. Our forming oven accommodates sheets up to 2500 x 1830mm in thicknesses from 3mm to 25mm.

Applications
The Slumping Process
The sheet is placed over a custom mould in a temperature-controlled oven, heated to approximately 160°C, and allowed to slowly drape into shape under its own weight. The process produces smooth, stress-free curves without the optical distortion associated with mechanical bending.
Chemical Resistance
Acrylics are unaffected by most household detergents, cleaning agents, and solutions of inorganic acids, alkalies, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Acrylics should not be used with chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters and ketones.
