Acrylic (Polymethyl Methacrylate)


Acrylic is a transparent thermoplastic with outstanding strength, stiffness, and optical clarity. Acrylic sheet is easy to fabricate, bonds well with adhesive sand solvents, and is easy to thermoform. Acrylic is widely used for architectural glazing, indoor and outdoor signs, retail store fixtures, and point of purchase displays.


Plastiglass Cast Acrylic Sheet is optically transparent, unaffected by moisture, and offers a high strength to weight ratio, and high light transmittance. Plastiglass Cast Acrylic sheets can be easily heat-formed without loss of optical clarity. Prolonged exposure to moisture, or even total immersion in water, does not significantly effect the mechanical or optical properties of this outstanding material.
