Cast acrylic sheet
Cast acrylic sheets are lightweight, available in a variety of colors and thicknesses, and features greater thermal stability than in extruded form. Of the two, cast acrylic sheets have greater optical clarity. It is slightly harder overall in this form versus extrusion. When engraved, cast acrylic sheets result in a frosted appearance, as opposed to clear engraving on extruded sheets. Common applications for cast acrylic sheets include Point-Of-Purchase (POP) and store displays, skylights, furniture, picture frames, products for the aerospace industry, and because of its greater resistance to temperature fluctuation, ice rinks.
Our clear cast acrylic is transparent, moisture resistant, and half the weight of glass, despite being 17 times stronger. If you are looking to work with a more versatile plastic that can be easily shaped, machined and laser-cut, clear cast is a better alternative than extruded alternative, due to its higher molecular weight. Choose cast acrylic sheets if you are looking to construct aquariums, POP displays, acrylic furniture, trade showpieces or even retail accessories.
SUN-DECOR Acrylic Cast Clear Sheets are available in a wide range of thicknesses and sizes. Cut to size option is available.
