Q:Can plastic sheets be used for architectural models?

Yes, plastic sheets can be used for architectural models. They are commonly used due to their versatility, ease of manipulation, and ability to create precise and detailed structures. Plastic sheets can be cut, bent, and shaped to create different architectural elements, making them an ideal material for constructing architectural models.

Q:What is the lifespan of plastic sheets?

The lifespan of plastic sheets can vary depending on various factors such as the type of plastic, exposure to sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and overall usage. However, plastic sheets can typically last for several years to decades if properly cared for and maintained.

Q:Can plastic sheets be used for display cases?

Yes, plastic sheets can be used for display cases. They are often used as an alternative to glass due to their durability, lightweight nature, and cost-effectiveness. Plastic sheets like acrylic or polycarbonate provide excellent transparency, resistance to impact, and UV protection, making them suitable for various display case applications.

Q:Are plastic sheets fire resistant?

No, plastic sheets are generally not fire resistant.

Q:Are plastic sheets resistant to deformation under load?

Yes, plastic sheets are generally resistant to deformation under load. However, the level of resistance may vary depending on the type and thickness of the plastic sheet.

Q:And does this improve stereo sound quality...???

moisture doesnt care how thick your plastic is. and no it wont make MUCH of a sound difference. windows make more noise usually.. unless u have shotgun holes thru your door - i doubt it. just make sure the plastic is sealed all over.. moisture on the inside or outside? any cheap plastic will do - heck, even garbage bags.. theyre not exposed to sunlight so wont break down from UV.. just tape em airtight allover. use (non chinese) duct tape - its good. u can tear it in half size strips easily too/

Q:Hi guys, I'm about to tile my bathtub surround and have some questions regarding moisture barriers. I already have the 1/2 durock cement board and 6 mil plastic sheeting. Before I put up the plastic sheeting on the studs, I wanted to double check to see what people thought was a better moisture barrier... Redgard painted directly onto the cement board or the 6 mil heavy duty plastic sheeting attached to the studs. If you pick one over the other, can you tell me why? Is there a difference in how well each one will protect from long term moisture problems? It would be nice to hear the pros/cons to Redgard vs the plastic sheeting.I'm debating whether or not I should just go buy some Redgard and leave my plastic sheeting for another purpose. But if they both offer the same long term protection, then I'm happy just sticking with my plastic sheeting since it will save me a trip to the store and I am more familiar with that as a moisture barrier.

I've done a whole lot of this work over the years. Redgard is the best product I've ever seen for a moister barrier It's the standard for shower / tub surrounds. It's easy to use and will protect for a lifetime. Hang your cement board with the proper screws. Tape the seems and corners with fiberglass tape. Paint the redgard over the entire surface. Let dry; you know it's dry because it will turn from pink to red in color. Add another coat (or two) over the seems and corners to make sure the seems are sealed. Let dry. Install your tile or stone using thin set mixed with polymers. When you grout make sure to mix your grout with polymers. I know some guys who will use thin set to mud the seems before taping. This works well if you have some bigger gaps, but redgard is pretty thick stuff, like pudding. This type of installation will insure no water gets back behind your walls and will last a lifetime. Plastic has the issue of nail / screw holes, trapping water, and condensation. Redgard dose not because it is a moister barrier that you can lay tile directly on. There are other options and systems, but they tend to be more costly and harder to install. On a side note: I find redgard dose not apply well with a roller. It's very thick. I like to use a large brush. Plus a brush helps insure a good thick coat.

Q:How do plastic sheets compare to acrylic sheets?

Plastic sheets and acrylic sheets are similar in many ways, as acrylic is actually a type of plastic. However, acrylic sheets have distinct advantages over other types of plastic sheets. Acrylic sheets are more transparent, offer better clarity, and have higher overall strength and durability than most plastic sheets. Additionally, acrylic sheets are more resistant to UV rays, weathering, and impact. They are also easier to shape, cut, and manipulate, making them a popular choice for various applications such as signage, displays, and protective barriers.

Q:I would appreciate anyones help on this.I have to have a custom high-detailed graphic printed onto a sheet of plastic measuring 25 and 3/4 by 27. I'm assuming I will need a specialist service, but I'm not really too sure where to start, or how much this will cost me. This will be a custom made banner for an arcade machine, if anyone's interested. Can anyone direct me towards services, or even give me an idea of prices? I live in Essex, UK, if anyone can find somewhere local, I would greatly appreciate it!Thanks guys!-Kirsty

Q:Titanium sheet, lets say thickness 250 microns (0,010''), and size 3.5 x 2.5. How far could it bend so when you release it it goes back to its original shape (without any shape change or damage)? Could it act same as/close to a (plastic) playing card? Shuffle, bend half of the card when you are looking at it while its laying on the table?

In alloyed condition it’s as strong as steel but 45% lighter and also ductile Under mentioned conditions, it will not behave as you mentioned
