Anodised Aluminium and DuraBlack®
Buy 5 full sheets, get 1 sheet FREE*
Anodised Aluminium is hefty, maintenance-free and can be adapted for applications including signs, rating plates, controls and labels. The quality surface layer will not crack, peel or chip easily, and can be exposed to sunlight with full UV stability without the risk of being damaged or discoloured. Suitable for both engraving with a CO2 laser and mechanical engraving devices.
DuraBlack® is the material for tough and demanding environments. DuraBlack® is a CO2 laserable matte black non-reflective aluminium benefiting from a urethane protective top coat. Resistant to weathering, salt water, chemicals and high temperatures, it conforms to various industry and military standards. When laser engraved, it produces an “A” grade high-resolution white metallic contrast suited to barcoding and graphics.
* Order and free sheet can consist of full, half and quarter sheets and a mix from any of the Metals products listed. The free item must be equal or lesser value than the cheapest item. Special applies 1-31st July 2024.

What's the difference between cast and extruded acrylic?
While both extruded and cast acrylic are suitable for laser cutting and engraving, slight differences between them will determine the ideal choice for different applications.
| Extruded acrylic | Cast acrylic | |
| Pros: | Cost-effective, consistent thickness and smooth cut edges when laser cut | Superior cust quality, excellent for detailed engraving and minimal melting and burrs |
| Cons: | Less suitable for high-detail engraving, prone to melting and burrs when cutting | More expensive, slight variations in thickness |
| Best used for: | Basic cutting applications, projects where cost is a primary concern | High-quality cutting and engraving projects, intricate designs, and applications requiring excellent optical clarity |
To summarise, for laser processing, cast acrylic is generally the preferred choice due to its superior performance in both cutting and engraving. Extruded acrylic, while more cost-effective, is better suited for projects where the highest quality of engraving detail is not essential.
