Acrylic manufacturer

I am looking for a manufacturer of acrylic. The acrylic should have the ability to be manufactured in a metallic, florescent or prism finish. Any suggestions of companies?

Please clarify.

Are you after someone to manufacture raw plastic material that you can process. (Like GE, DUPONT, ICI etc) or are you after a material processor that can mould the materials into the objects that you wish to have manufactured?

Most of the manufacturers already have a range of materials and additives to achieve. Just web explore fro "acrylic manufacture" and you'll get heaps of stuff.

If you're after a moulding, then you will need to have mould tools manufactured and locate someone with the necessary equipment.

I am looking for a manufacturer that already has acrylic that comes in speciality finishes. If I search by acrylic manufacturer I get a lot of companies. But very few with finishes other than different colors. You can buy holographic film but what about holographic acrylic?

Thanks.

An excellent distributer of plastics I am aware of is U.S. Plastics. If they do not have what you desire, they may be able to steer you correctly. Try www.usplastics.com Good luck.
