A1

A1, the abbreviation for Acrylic One, is a two-component material consisting of a mineral powder and a water-based acrylic resin. These bind in such a way that a very strong material is created. A1 is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, fire-resistant and is easy to use.

HOW TO USE A1

A1 must be carefully weighed and mixed. The mixing ratio of A1 is 1 part A1 Liquid mixed with 2 parts A1 Powder. Use the stainless steel High Shear Mixer to create a swirl.

TECHNICAL DATA

A1 is essentially an organic composite ideally suited for hand or spray lamination to create lightweight cladding systems. The process of lamination is similar to that employed in the manufacture of laminates (GRG).

PRINTED MATTER

At Australia Composite Solutions, we are the country’s leading suppliers of Acrylic One, commonly referred to as A1. Acrylic resin has become increasingly popular in the last few years, thanks in no small part to craft videos posted on social media sites and YouTube. Acrylic One consists of two components, a mineral powder that is blended with a water-based acrylic resin. A1 is environmentally friendly and has low toxicity compared to some alternative epoxy resins and acrylic resin. As such, as an acrylic resin supplier, we are proud to stock this product.

This liquid acrylic resin is incredibly easy to use, and not only is it non-toxic in its composition, but the same can also be said for the manufacturing process. It is fire resistant and highly resilient to UV degradation, essential in our country. The acrylic resin can be used indoors or out and effectively replaces GRG, GRC and GRP. It is fabulously versatile and can be used as terrazzo resin, crafts resin, and casting as well as a laminating resins. 

Although it has undoubtedly come to prominence in recent years as a crafts resin used for arts, sculptures, decorations, and theming, acrylic resin has been used for several years in building claddings and facades, as a casting resin and as a terrazzo resin. In the main, this is due to its fire-resistant and UV resistant qualities. It is also free from any solvents, doesn’t shrink after application, and has a good range of mechanical properties.

Acrylic One is an organic composite containing mineral powder, and can be sprayed or hand lamination, and its lightweight properties make it ideal for cladding. We are reputable acrylic resin suppliers and will be happy to discuss its potential uses with you, including how it should be applied and mixing ratios. Indeed, it is crucial that you carefully measure the mix, which should be one-part A1 Liquid, combined with two-parts A1 Powder. A1 should be mixed using a high shear mixer that creates a swirl.

Acrylic 1 is a superb material for cladding your outdoor spaces. It can be easily wiped down or washed without any concerns of water damage (if sealed with our A1 Sealer), and as it doesn’t degrade due to ultraviolet light, this acrylic resin is the perfect solution for your home. Of course, it can also be used inside your property, where it will look equally as impressive.

With water based acrylic resins becoming increasingly popular, and used due to its non-toxic, and user-friendly characteristics, it is critical to make the right decision on which brand you should choose. 

At Australia Composite Solutions, we make it our duty to offer the best products to the market. And to enhance our range, we will soon introduce our A1 Terrazzo, in direct competition with our competitor Jesmonite, which market the AC100, and AC200. It comes in as not only an alternative for Jesmonite, but we characterise A1 Terrazzo as a far superior product, making manufacture effortless, and more consistent. 

At Australian Composite Solutions we are passionate about creating this new range of items that have decorative as well as practical uses. A1 Terrazzo will eliminate the stress of calculating the pigment ratios, and making sure the ratios are not exceeded, so just select the colour of your choice, stir and pour, as easy as that. 

While other suppliers of resins may be able to offer similar ranges to ACS, they are most often of inferior quality, and don’t have the knowledge to provide essential advice. As you can see on our website, we don’t just stock resin, but we use it ourselves. Take a moment to browse thru our educational videos, which you may find are helpful.

So, if you are searching for Acrylic One (A1) and have been searching for reputable acrylic resin suppliers, then look no further than Australia Composite Solutions.
