What is acrylic plastic sheet?

Acrylic plastic sheet, also known as plastic glass, Plexiglas®, and PMMA, is a transparent amorphous commodity thermoplastic used for architectural glazing and windows, point-of-purchase displays, signage, and applications requiring a strong, stiff, and optically clear material that is easy to machine, fabricate, and thermoform.

Customers Also Asked:
What is acrylic plastic used for?

Acrylic plastic sheet uses include glazing and weather-resistant windows in building, boating, and construction applications, as well as signage, point-of-sale displays, and anywhere a strong transparent surface is required. Acrylic plastic's high impact resistance makes it ideal for safety applications including facemasks, sneeze guards, eye protection, and bullet-resistant glazing.

Is acrylic plastic cheap or expensive?

Acrylic is generally more expensive than glass. However, acrylic is cheaper to install, is more impact resistant, and has a long life expectancy that may lead to overall long-term cost savings vs. glass. Acrylic is an economical alternative to polycarbonate for some applications.

Is acrylic the same as plexiglass?

There is no functional difference between Plexiglas®, plexiglass, and acrylic - they are the same material. Plexiglas® is a brand specific name for acrylic. Other brand names for this material include Lucite®, Optix®, Perspex®, and Altuglas®.
