Norlite Acrylic Castings

Northern Cast Acrylics specialise in the manufacture of Norlite polymethylmethacrylate (Acrylic), supplying items that fall outside the normal range of stock acrylic products, small or large. Norlite is custom-manufactured to order as in a foundry. Large rough cast blocks, rods and tube are manufactured before being cut and machined to size and shape.

Polishing brings out the glass-like clarity and brilliance of the material. The versatile casting facility enables a wide range of acrylic for a variety of purposes to be produced.


Rods

We supply colour matched, in glitter effect, opaque, translucent in rough cast or machined and polished form from 35mm dia. upwards. 1ft to 1 metre long. Very large diameters and non-stock sizes in clear acrylic 1ft to 1 metre long.

Often required by modelmarkers, photographers, television studios and display companies.

Blocks and bars

In coloured or clear material, rough cast or machined and polished, non-stock sizes.

Tubes

Thick-walled (10mm upwards), seamless tubes as cast or machined and polished. 25mm to 2.2m dia. Also associated components such as flanges and blank-ended tubes. Clear or colour matched material.

Miscellaneous Engineering Components

Specialist one-off casting service for unusual shapes and sizes. For example, domed conical, or elliptical inserts in a block, casting close to a finished bore of a component, or if required, casting the finished, polished bore or a series of stepped bores within the same unit.

This not can not only save material, but also machining time.

Machining Service

Using a combination of casting and precision machining skills, we offer an in-house service from the drawing/design stage to the finished component. For those experienced in machining acrylics, we can supply rough cast (as cast) material for you to finish.
