n indawo yezinto zokwakha zesimanje, ishidi elimhlophe le-acrylic limi njengokuqina okuhlazinayo kweqiniso, ukuguquguquka okujabulisayo, kanye nesikhalazo sobuhle ukufeza izimfuno zezimboni ezingenakubalwa namaphrojekthi okudala. Waziwa nangokuthi i-polymethyl methacrrylate (PMMA) ishidi, i-acrylic emhlophe iguqule indlela esisondela ngayo, ukwakhiwa kanye nokukhiqiza, sinikeza enye indlela ephakeme ngezinto zokwakha zendabuko ezinjengengilazi, izinkuni, kanye nezimpawu ezijwayelekile. Noma ngabe ungumqambi okhokhelwayo, umdlandla we-DIY, noma umnikazi webhizinisi ofuna izibonakaliso ezithembekile noma ukukhombisa izixazululo, ukuqonda izimfanelo ezihlukile zeshidi elimhlophe le-acrylic kubalulekile ekuvuleni amandla alo aphelele. Lo mhlahlandlela uzokwehla kuzo zonke izici zeshidi elimhlophe le-acrylic: kusuka ekwakhiweni kwalo kanye nezicelo eziyisisekelo ezinhlelweni zayo ezihamba phambili, amasu wokufaka, amathiphu wesondlo, nokuthi kungani kuhlala kungukukhetha okuphezulu kwamaphrojekthi wazo zonke izikali.

　　1. Yini ishidi elimhlophe le-acrylic?

　　Ngaphambi kokuhlola izinzuzo zako, kubalulekile ukusungula ukuqonda okucacile kwalokho Ishidi le-acrylic elimhlophe nokuthi lihluke kanjani kwezinye izinto ezimakethe.

　　1.1 Ukuchazwa kanye nokwakheka kwezinto ezibonakalayo

　　Ishidi elimhlophe le-acrylic liyinto eqinile, ye-thermoplastic eyenziwe nge-polymethyl methacrlate (PMMA), i-polymer yokwenziwa ethathwe kumamomoromo we-methylrrylate. Ngokungafani namapulasitiki anemibala ancike embonweni noma kupende (angachithwa, afiphele, noma amakhasi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi), i-acrylic emhlophe ifinyelela isikhathi sayo senqubo efanayo ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza. Lokhu kusho ukuthi umbala omhlophe uhlanganiswe ekusebenzeni okuphathelene nakho konke ukushuba kweshidi elibheke ukudlidliza okuhlala isikhathi eside kanye nokumelana nokwamukela.

　　Inqubo yokukhiqiza yeshidi elimhlophe le-acrylic ngokujwayelekile ifaka izindlela ezimbili:

　　Ukuphonsa kweseli: Inqubo esezingeni eliphakeme lapho ama-monomers e-MMA athululelwa khona ezikhunjini futhi ayelapheka kancane. Amashidi we-acrylic aphonswe amaseli anikela ngokucacisa okuphakeme kakhulu (ngisho namhlophe), ukumelana nomthelela omkhulu, futhi ukuqina okungaguquki, kubenza balungele izinhlelo zokusebenza eziphezulu ezinjengezimpawu, ukuboniswa, kanye nemishini yezokwelapha.

　　Ukukhishwa: Indlela ebiza kakhulu lapho i-PMMA encibilikile idonswa khona ngokufa ukuze isebenze amashidi. Amashidi amhlophe amhlophe amhlophe alula, abe nendawo ebushelelezi, futhi kulula ukusika kanye nefomu, abenze balungele amaphrojekthi we-DIY, ukupakishwa, kanye nomhlobiso oyisisekelo.

　　1.2 osayizi abajwayelekile nobukhulu

　　Amashidi amhlophe acrylic atholakala kumasayizi ahlukahlukene wokuthola izidingo ezahlukahlukene zephrojekthi, kusuka izingcezu ezincane zezandla kumaphaneli amakhulu ahlelekile. Amasayizi ajwayelekile ajwayelekile afaka:

　　Okuncane kuya kosayizi abaphakathi: 8x10 amayintshi, amasentimitha ayi-12x12, amayintshi ayi-14x16, amasentimitha angu-18x24-alungele amaphrojekthi we-DIY, izibonakaliso ezincane, kanye nokuhlobisa.

　　Osayizi abakhulu: amasentimitha angama-24x36, amasentimitha angama-36x48, ama-intshi angama-48x72 ama-inches ngokuboniswa okukhulu, amaphaneli odonga, kanye nezimpawu zokuhweba.

　　Ubukhulu bungenye into ebucayi, njengoba inquma amandla ephepha, isisindo, kanye nokufaneleka kwezicelo ezithile. Izinketho ezijwayelekile zobukhulu bezinsimbi ze-acrylic ezimhlophe zisukela ku-1/16 inch (1.5mm) kuya ku-1 inch (25mm), ngezinketho ezidumile kufaka phakathi:

　　1/16 kuya ku-1/8 inch (1.5mm kuya ku-3mm): Amashidi amancanyana, angasindi aphelele ama-accents okuhlobisa, ama-stencils, ukupakisha, kanye nemibukiso yesikhashana.

　　I-1/4 inch (6mm): Ubukhulu obuhlukahlukene obulungele izimpawu, izithunzi zamakhambi, ozimele bezithombe, kanye nezingxenye ezincane zefenisha.

　　3/8 kuya ku-1/2 inch (10mm kuya ku-12mm): Amashidi aqinile, aqinile alungele izinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlekisayo ezinjengethebhulethi, izimbotshana ze-countertop, kanye nonogada bezimali.

　　3/4 kuya ku-1 inch (19mm kuya ku-25mm): Amashidi asebenza kanzima asetshenziselwa izinhlelo ezinomthelela omkhulu, njengama-kiosks angaphandle, izithiyo zokuvikela, kanye nemishini yezimboni.
