Acrylic bathtub

Today, acrylic bathtubs have become a suitable alternative to cast iron and steel tubs due to their light weight, warm and soft surface, and ability to be manufactured in ergonomic shapes. These products are made from acrylic sheets (PMMA), reinforced with a layer of polyester or vinyl ester resin and fiberglass, and produced in thermal molds. The vacuum thermoforming process creates a uniform, non-porous surface with the ability to repair surface scratches.

In terms of performance, acrylic bathtubs reinforced with resin have up to three times higher impact strength and greater thermal resistance compared to the conventional type. Additionally, their non-porous surface prevents the growth of fungi and bacteria and makes cleaning easy. Alborz Organic Materials Company, by supplying specialty resins for acrylic reinforcement, enables the production of bathtubs with long-lasting color and gloss retention.
