Acrylic Plastic Sheet Properties
Optix acrylic sheet properties.
Acrylic plastic sheet properties. They are more flexible than glass they break less easily and they are resistant to abrasion corrosion industrial fumes and chemicals. Acrylic also is resistant to many external substances it is waterproof and is resistant to other inorganic substances such as acids. It has superior weathering properties compared to many other transparent plastics. Most of them are.
It s what we deliver. Acrylic is very easy to work with as it can be cut to almost any shape and heated and moulded to any form. Acrylic sheet exhibits glass like qualities clarity brilliance and transparency but at half the weight and many times the impact resistance of glass.

Acrylic can be optically clear or cloudy as in the case of impact modified acrylics. Acrylic because of its polymer formation is very strong. These properties have allowed acrylic to enjoy immense popularity in manufacturing as well as diy projects. Acrylic is a transparent plastic material with outstanding strength stiffness and optical clarity.
Most acrylics are polymers of methyl methacrylate pmma. High impact resistance high optical clarity innate weatherability and uv resistance excellent dimensional stability lightweight excellent chemical resistance. Optix acrylic sheet properties.
