Product Information

We have extensive experience working closely with a wide range of businesses to deliver excellent value. From full sheets in bulk to cut-to-size requirements and everything in between, our knowledgeable team will work to exceed your expectations. In the majority of applications, acrylic sheet will not shatter. Rather, it breaks into large dull pieces. Since acrylic is softer and more easily scratched than glass, scratch-resistant coatings are often added to sheets to protect it. While it is not particularly flexible, it’s advantage is that it can be curved and formed into a variety of shapes and configurations. Acrylic glass is 10x stronger than normal glass and also significantly lighter, so you needn’t worry too much about where you place it. Any given acrylic sheet cut to size by The Plastic People also benefits from a surface which is just as crystal clear in its appearance in comparison to glass Acrylic sheets have poor resistance to many chemicals, including acetone, benzene, and liquid chlorine. Please enter how many corners you would like rounded.Ifyou requireless than four corners roundingplease tell us which corners they are.

Acrylic sheet is a strong and lightweight material. It has a density less than half that of glass. It also has good impact strength, higher than both glass and styrene. Its UV and environmental stability is superior to most other plastics such as styrene and polyethylene, and Acrylic sheets are often the material of choice for outdoor applications. In addition to its high tolerance to trauma, it boasts a UV resistance and a 15 to 20-year lifespan when used outside, with very little between it and the elements. If you wish to use our screw covers, please select 'Standard Holes' from the drop down menu. Cut Outs Acrylic sheets are noted for their exceptional clarity and optical properties. Acrylics are widely used in lighting fixtures because they are slow-burning or even self-extinguishing. Acrylic drills well with a drill press, stepping up the diameter to the finished size (extra careful if drilling near an edge) Any melted swarf collar can be removed by hand using a rotary deburrer. Countersinking also works well in a drill press by using a multi-flute countersink. Scratches may easily be removed by polishing or by heating the surface of the material.Since we’re dealing with shapes, you’ll need to enter the exact dimensions of each edge of your chosen shape (diameter for circle and oval). If you’re simply looking to buy clear plastic sheets individually, our standard sizes might be just what you need. Dremels are a popular way of cutting thin acrylic sheets, as Dremels are more accessible than most professional tools. As a result, dremels with special acrylic cutting bits are commonly used among those who enjoy home projects. How Do You Cut Shapes In Acrylic?

Acrylic sheet can be joined using Tensol cement or even superglue, also with heat (welding), or by using solvents such as di- or trichloromethane to dissolve the plastic at the joint, which then fuses and sets, forming an almost invisible weld Acrylic swells and dissolves in many organic solvents. Its impact strength is still significantly lower than polycarbonate and some engineered polymers. Acrylic ignites at 460 °C and burns, forming carbon dioxide, water, carbon monoxide and other compounds, including formaldehyde. Acrylic glass can be cut to size to fit around your garden as necessary. Whether it’s greenhouse glazing or shed windows– this type of plastic can withstand the elements, offering you great value over time. Plexiglass has approximately 17 times the impact strength of glass, making it ideal for windows, retail displays, and other applications. What size does plexiglass come in?

And, if you have particular place where you need the holes to be positioned – you can also upload a drawing (upto 5MB). Plexiglass is shatter-resistant and has 17 times the impact strength of glass but can be broken when enough force is applied. However, when plexiglass does break, it does not shatter into sharp pieces, like its glass counterpart. Does plexiglass come in colors? For more intricate designs you may want to play around with extruded vs acrylic plastic. Each will give you vastly different results for engraving and designing. Can You Cut Acrylic With A Jigsaw?
