Extruded Acrylic Sheet Thickness

Tilara acrylic sheet is a thermoplastic sheet that is an alternative of polycarbonate when extreme strength.

Extruded acrylic sheet thickness.

Exact thickness tolerances will vary by manufacturer. Our extruded acrylic sheets are transparent moisture resistant and about half the weight of glass. Whereas perspex cast is produced in small batches extruded sheet is made by extruding acrylic polymer over longer more economical production runs. Extruded sheets have a better tolerance on thickness typically or 10 however tighter tolerances can be achieved by prior agreement with the extrusion mill.

Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets. Please call us at 858 560 1551 with any questions. These are general guidelines for thickness tolerances on plexiglass acrylic sheets. Cast acrylic has a less consistent sheet thickness with up to 10 variation possible across the panel.

0 060 1 16 1 5 mm. It is thermo formable and can be reworked hot which is not always. Using a proprietary innovative process our premium sheet products are economical provide tight thickness tolerance have high optical characteristics and low stress levels. Acrylite premium acrylic sheet is the highest quality extruded plastic sheet on the market.

Sheet sizes colors. Both extruded and cast acrylic sheets comply with fda requirements for food contact which also makes it an ideal choice for. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively. Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant.

Extruded plexiglass acrylic sheets on the other hand have a higher tolerance when heated or bent and are typically more malleable than cast plexiglass acrylic sheets. More flexible than glass or metals acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates polycarbonates or vinyl. Here are the tolerances on the thickness of the acrylic sheets that we offer. Extruded acrylic is also clearer than glass and.

Can be thermoformed odourless printed. Sizes 1 16 3 8 are the extruded sheets and the 1 2 3 4 and 1 are the cast sheets. Cut to size items cannot be returned for a refund or exchange.
