York Plastic Products (YPP) is a premier Australian

extruder of thermoplastic sheet and profiles

that has been operating for over forty-five

years. In 2015, YPP relocated to a new facility in

Fairfield East, New South Wales, Australia.

operational capabilities of the YPP Extrusion Plant,

In June of 2015, YPP completed the

relocation of its entire manufacturing

operation from Riverwood, NSW to

Fairfield East, NSW. YPP prides itself

on the expertise of its long-serving

staff, and all of YPP’s manufacturing

personnel have made the transition to

the new location. Each YPP machine

operator has over two decades worth

of experience helping to ensure the

reliability of YPP’s processes, and

the quality of YPP’s products

In addition, YPP maintains a

quality system based on ISO

9001 so that product quality

consistency remains a key priority.

The new Fairfield East site utilizes the

latest in service piping technology.

The Aquatherm Polypropylene Piping

system, which delivers air and water

to the machines, has eliminated all

the impurities associated with the

original cast iron plumbing. This new

“leak-free” installation has resulted

in a vast improvement in production

efficiencies. In addition, YPP has also

adopted the maintenance protocols

of companies such as Tooheys and

Goodman Fielder in order to ensure

that the York Plastics Products

facility is amongst the most efficient

in the country. This translates

directly into lower cost production

and increased product quality.

Extensive time spent on Research and

Development enables YPP to be at the

forefront of new product development.

YPP was the first to launch the

Refractor line of diffusers aimed at

high glare lamp sources in commercial

lighting. In addition, YPP’s new

Visi-LED diffusers are YPP’s unique

proprietary range designed specifically

for LED lighting applications.

YPP Product Overview


Extrusion Line 1

Line 1 is devoted to the roll-forming extrusion of profiles.

These profiles are formed using a roll stack encapsulating the rolls

that impart the pattern; a forming-tool that creates the desired shape

of the profile, and various moulding rollers that help guide and form

the sheet into the profile shape as it progresses down the line.

The difference between die tool extrusion and roll-forming

is that a die is a standalone tool in which the material

passes through internally. Roll-forming creates this shape

externally of the forming tool, which allows for a greater

accuracy and imprint with regards to prismatic patterns.

Extrusion Line 2

Extrusion Line 2 extrudes embossed/patterned sheets.

Line 2 is YPP’s second-largest extruder and produces all YPP’s

wider embossed/patterned sheets. A pattern is imparted to

the material via the specific roll devoted to that pattern. These

embossing rolls are readily interchangeable within the roll stack

which allows for a greater flexibility in YPP’s production capability.

Line 2 is not just dedicated to one particular resin with its

operation involving multiple roll and resin changes.

Line 2 can extrude up to 400 kilograms per hour

and to a nominal width of 1350mm.

Line 4 is the largest extrusion line at YPP, and is solely

devoted to the extrusion of smooth/gloss sheet.

As a premium Reifenhäuser extruder, Line 4 has been

specified to produce the highest quality commercial finish

with its chrome rolls remaining permanently in situ.

As with Line 2, Line 4 extrudes multiple resins; all with a

smooth-gloss finish. It can extrude up to 500 kilograms

an hour at a maximum nominal width of 1550mm.

Film

All sheet produced on Line 4 has a protective Polyethylene

(PE) film. Acrylic will have film applied to both sides of the

sheet. ABS and ASA will have it applied to one side only.

Impact grades of acrylic are branded with film accordingly;

Pink film designates Medium Impact Acrylic

Blue film designates High Impact Acrylic.

YPP’s Medium Impact Acrylic is 50% Standard

Acrylic and 50% High Impact Acrylic.

YPP’s High Impact Acrylic is 100% High Impact. These

percentages are noted on the branded film.

YPP is able to extrude a multitude of blends depending

on customer requirement and volume.


Extrusion Line 5

Line 5 is exclusively devoted to the extrusion of

specialized lighting diffusers utilizing Clear Acrylic,

Refractor, and YPP’s new LED resin Visi-LED.

Products are available in the same patterns and

different resins. For example, Y5 is Fine Rib in Refractor,

whereas Y21 is Fine Rib in Clear Acrylic.

Line 5 extrudes to a nominal width of 660mm at a

rate of approximately 100 kilograms per hour.

Raw Material

1. Acrylic – Polymethyl Methacrylate

(PMMA)

• Clear acrylic is 100% UV resistant

• Masterbatches can be added to produce

various colours – opal, yellow, etc.

• Acrylic can come in a High Impact Grade,

which is 10 times as strong as Standard

Acrylic

• Other impact strengths can be obtained by

mixing High Impact Acrylic with Standard

Acrylic, i.e. YPP’s medium impact is 50%

High Impact and 50% Standard Impact

• High Impact Acrylic contains a “rubber”

modifier which gives more elasticity to the

panel, which results in more strength and

better formability

• The High Impact Modifier makes forming

easier as the sheet is not as brittle and

more flexible.

2. Refractor

• Refractor has a higher refractive index than

normal acrylic which allows for nearly the

same light transmission as Clear Acrylic,

but obscuring the glare produced from the

lamp source

• Increasingly more popular with high glare

lamp sources such as T5 or LED

• Predominately used for lighting diffusers.

3. Visi-LED

• Visi-LED is YPP’s proprietary

resin specially blended for LED lighting

applications

• Visi-LED has a higher refractive index than

normal acrylic, and obscures the hot spots

associated with LED light sources whilst

offering good light transmittance

• Designed to reduce the pixilation of the

LED

• Predominately used for lighting diffusers.

4. ABS – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

• Usually utilized for its impact and heat

resistance

• ABS derivatives will possess increased heat

or impact resistance depending on the

grade

• Is susceptible to UV and sunlight.

5. ASA – Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate

• Improved weather resistance over ABS

allowing for outdoor applications

• Introduced by BASF as “Luran”

• Heavily used in automotive and other

outdoor applications.

YPP utilises a variety of resins, and resin derivatives within our range.
