This material has all of the same benefits of regular acrylic sheets (as mentioned above), but the overall effect is an opal or white appearance.
Opal is a semi-translucent material which allows approximately 70% light transmission. Great for creating opaque effects for light boxes and allowing illumination from behind without showing the detail.
Opal frosted acrylic is also known by the trade names of Perspex®, Lucite, Altuglas and Plexiglass.
