Acrylic sheet exhibits glass like qualities clarity brilliance and transparency but at half the weight and many times the impact resistance of glass. The surface of plastic is not as hard as that of glass. Rockwell hardness m 102. Upper working temperature c polyamide nylon 6 6 30 glass fiber reinforced.

Relative density 1 19 g cm3. Cast acrylic sheet and block acrylic have properties that make them suitable for a wide variety of applications. Thermal conductivity w m k 1. This sheet is more resistant than glass to thermal shock and to stresses caused by substantial temperature differences between a sunlit and a shaded area of a window or by temperature differences between opposite surfaces of a window.

Acrylic sheet is easy to fabricate bonds well with adhesives and solvents and is easy to thermoform.
