This clear, lightweight material is hard like glass but shatterproof. Ideal for advertising, signs and art. Weatherproof, durable and versatile. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use.
- Acrylic sheets, also known as acrylic glass or Plexiglas, are plastic panels made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). They are a popular alternative to glass because they are lighter, more shatter-resistant, and more versatile, while still offering high transparency and optical quality. Available in various different versions.
- Clear: For applications requiring high transparency.
- Colored: Available in numerous colors and surface textures.
- Frosted: For light diffusion and decorative purposes.
- Mirror acrylic: Acrylic sheets with reflective coating.
Characteristics:
- High transparency: Light transmission up to 92%, clearer than conventional glass.
- Low weight: About half the weight of glass with comparable strength.
- Break resistance: Significantly more resistant to breakage than glass.
- Weather resistance: UV-stable and yellowing-resistant, ideal for outdoor use.
- Thermoplastic: Can be shaped and processed by heating.
- Surface: More sensitive to scratches than glass, but can be optimized with coatings (e.g. anti-scratch coating).
- Chemical resistance: Resistant to many chemicals but sensitive to solvents.
Printability of all variants very good, wide range of applications always with good print quality
