Each material is stocked in multiple gauges, sizes, and colors to meet industrial, marine, and architectural specifications.
Which industries does Farco Plastics serve?
Farco Plastics serves marine and boat-building industries, commercial construction, architectural signage, transportation, hurricane protection, security and defense (bullet-resistant glazing), and industrial fabrication. Customers include OEM manufacturers, sign shops, marine contractors, and engineering firms across the Southeastern United States that require precision-cut plastic sheet products.
What is Trident marine-grade plastic?
Trident is Farco Plastics' proprietary line of marine-grade plastics engineered specifically for harsh saltwater environments. The line includes Trident HDPE, Trident Expanded PVC, and Trident Woodgrain, all formulated for UV resistance, low water absorption, and dimensional stability. Trident materials are widely used for boat decking, helm components, and dock fabrication.
Does Farco Plastics offer custom fabrication and cut-to-size services?
Yes. Farco Plastics offers cut-to-size sheet processing, CNC routing, and custom fabrication services tailored to customer drawings and specifications. Capabilities include precision sawing, routing, drilling, and edge finishing for marine, signage, and industrial applications. Contact a Farco specialist for tolerances, lead times, and project quoting.
What regions does Farco Plastics ship to?
Farco Plastics primarily serves the Southeastern United States from its distribution facilities, with regular shipments to Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Larger industrial orders and palletized shipments are available nationwide. Contact the sales team for specific freight quotes, lead times, and delivery options.
What is the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate sheeting?
Acrylic offers superior optical clarity, scratch resistance, and a lower price point, making it ideal for signage and display cases. Polycarbonate provides up to 250 times the impact strength of glass, making it the better choice for security glazing, hurricane protection, and applications where impact resistance outweighs scratch concerns. Both can be fabricated to spec.
