ABOUT CLAX
For over 40 years the creativity and technological know-how offered by Clax Italy and its technical staff have overstepped the boundaries of production and scientific innovation in acrylic production.
The constant evolution of its know-how has enabled Clax Italia to develop special products obtained through casting processes involving specific integrated moulds, large, thick monolithic blocks, standard and special sheets for food, military, medical and scientific use, as well as chemical resins, better known as “glue”, specific for acrylic underwater use. The company’s advanced chemical PMMA plants, fully in compliance with ISO 14001 environmental specifications, fully suits the quality certification that apart from extreme transparency and durability, a strict production quality control system aimed at assuring backward traceability of any single plate and/or block.
Teamwork
and Engeneering
A highly qualified team of experts for any kind of production and installation. From the large AQuariA® blocks, suitable for underwater use, to the implementation and installation of great architectural works made of cast polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Supporting customers, from planning to installing, from choosing the best material to use, to assembling all the components, is one of the company’s primary concerns. Clax Italia engineering department is always ready to coordinate and to provide the correct support, in compliance with international regulations.

PERCLAX
Il metacrilato colato prodotto da Clax Italia si chiama Perclax ®
ed è interamente composto da PMMA, un polimero termoplastico
ottenuto per polimerizzazione in massa di monomero tramite colata.
Among the most interesting applications of
Perclax® methacrylate blocks are AQuariA®
Aquarium glasses. Acrylics, chemically processed
and specifically produced for underwater use (PVHO-1)

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
MISSION
Our R&D team is constantly committed to developing new products and applications by improving its production processes and technologies.
Our R&D Department also collaborates with Italian and European research organizations, Universities and consulting firms specifically selected for their expertise on a variety of special topics.
These activities are grouped as follows:
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Continuos monitoring efforts allow Clax R&D dept. to identify strength and weeknes of the acrylic use form the market.
QUALITY CONTROL
Laboratory facilities usually perform analytical testing of product batches and purchased raw materials. They also supervise the good functioning of processes and measuring instruments. The overall reliability of the results will be susceptible of further internal and external checks.
