Acrylic

Long the standard by which all other transparent plastics are measured, acrylic sheet materials have served the needs of many industries for decades. Acrylics offer clarity, optical quality, long life and ease of fabrication in a wide variety of sizes, thicknesses and colors. Sheet, rod and tube are produced via casting or extrusion technologies, depending on the size or volume of product involved. Acrylics are available in specialized formulations or configurations to meet the needs of unique applications. Mar-resistant, impact strength enhanced and static dissipative products are examples of coatings or additives available for acrylics. Typical applications include point of purchase displays, signs, skylights, windows, safety guards and name plates to name a few.

  Additional Acrylic Products

  • Bullet-Resistant Acrylic
    Acrylite® GP 1.25" and Polycast MP 1.25" acrylic sheets have a higher clarity than glass or polycarbonate. They have an optical clarity of 92% light transmission and only .7% haze factor and weigh 48% less than glass of the same U.L. rating. To fabricate shapes, they can be heated and formed and also drilled, machined, sawed or polished. Because they are U.L. 752 certified as level 1 bullet-resistant material, indoor and outdoor, for use against small-power arms, they have many applications. Some of those applications are teller, gasoline or cashier stations, taxicab partitions, police stations, store windows and computer installations. Level 2 and Level 3 certified bullet-resistant acrylic sheets are also available.

  • Acrylic Mirror Sheet
    Half the weight of plate, Acrylic Mirror is shatter resistant with extensive design flexibility. It can be cut straight edged or into curved shapes by sawing and can also be machined or drilled. Acrylic Mirror is highly reflective with all sheets protected on the front surface with clear film or paper masking. Acrylic Mirror comes in a wide variety of colors and is available in both extruded and cast.
  • “See-Thru” Acrylic Mirror
    “See-Thru”, sometimes called two-way mirror, is a semi-transparent film of aluminum deposited on an acrylic or polycarbonate substrate. This allows a percentage of incident light to pass through while reflecting the remainder. From the illuminated side it is a mirror and from the darkened side it becomes transparent. “See-Thru” has been used successfully in monitoring and surveillance operations in such places as stores, correctional and psychiatric institutions, hospitals, and casinos. “See-Thru” is also used to make infinity lights and multiple image devices. It can be used in advertising and for special theatrical props and effects.
