 There are few applications for acrylic sheet that are more demanding than the acrylic material used in tanning bed shields. In a typical tanning salon shields are subjected to pressure points (impacts can often exceed a force over 500 lbs. per sq. in.), intense UV light, lotions and caustic disinfectants dozens of times over 12 – 18 hours a day! It’s critical that tanning bed shields are made from warm-feeling, blemish-free, proven UV transmitting acrylic material that is impervious to degradation from chemicals and UV light and inherently strong so shields don’t prematurely crack, fracture, yellow or deteriorate.
Acrylics USA’s operation was founded by manufacturing acrylic material used for tanning bed shields to become the largest manufacture of cell cast tanning bed material in the world. (Note: Our experience making acrylic cell cast material to meet tanning beds demands has helped Acrylics USA to develop proprietary formulations and processes to manufacture superior cell cast acrylic materials for other demanding applications.)
Our HiSolar 360™(clear acrylic material) and Solar Mist™ (silky translucent material used to hide bulbs, wires and fixtures) material has been tested and demonstrates it offers the highest UV transmission rate in the industry and is still running in real-life tanning bed applications after 20,000 hours.
Call us for the name of a distributor/fabricator that uses Acrylics USA’s HiSolar 360 and Solar Mist material to manufacture their shields. If you are a salon owner that wants to save time and money replacing acrylics, insist on shields made from the stronger, higher molecular weight UV material made by Acrylics USA.
