Unlike Cast Acrylic, Extruded Acrylic sheets are manufactured by extruding the resin over a production line which offers a uniform thickness and an excellent surface finish. A superb replacement for glass in a number of applications, Extruded Acrylic is as much as ten times more resistant to impact than glass and has excellent UV stability.
This makes it a popular choice of material for replacement greenhouse panels and secondary glazing, where it can offer 15-20 years of flawless service in all weather. It performs well wherever a strong, lightweight and shatterproof material is required – particularly in environments where safety is a concern.
In addition to its strength, the versatility of Perspex sheet acrylic is further broadened by its lightweight, resistance to chemicals and low moisture absorption rate which makes it suitable for food contact and for use in hygienic environments.
It is easily maintained and can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a little soap and warm water.
Is Clear Acrylic and Perspex the same thing?
