Cast Acrylic Sheets

1) Less low angle distortion;
2) Low minimum run/order quantities;
3) Thousands of standard and custom colors available;
4) Greater range of available thicknesses (available in thicknesses
greater than 1.00");
5) Slightly better chemical resistance;
6) Less tendency to melt or chip during machining;
7) Slightly higher service temperature;
8) More suitable for use involving continuous contact with
water;
9) Better capability to handle long-term mechanical loads

Cast acrylic is manufactured by a process whereby MMA (Methyl Methacrylate monomer) liquid is pumped into a mould made from two sheets of glass. The mould/monomer is then bmerged in warm water and the process of polymerization takes place. The result is a sheet of rigid PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) or what is generically called Acrylic.

Various trade names are applied to this sheet:
– in Europe it 's called “Perspex”, in the USA it’s often
referred to as “Plexi or Plexiglas” and many more

Widely used in building and construction, commercial and
structural glazing, displays and point of sale, exhibit, trade
show and convention displays, machine shops, plastic and
metal fabrication, recreation, signage.
