Extruded Acrylic Sheet

Extruded acrylic sheet extruded acrylic sheet can be manufactured to any length which often results in cost savings since yield loss can be minimized when parts are cut from custom sheet sizes.

Extruded acrylic sheet.

Extruded acrylic is also the easiest grade to thermoform and the easiest to bond using solvent cements. 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 costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets. An economical general purpose material acrylic can be easily heat formed without loss of optical clarity.

The materials allow for a broad range of design considerations that allow you the flexibility needed in your applications. Extruded acrylic sheet is easy to cut glue polish bend and thermoform. We are the leading manufacturer of thermoplastic solutions from acrylic abs and copolyester sheet to the application of performance enhancing hard coatings. Acrylic or pmma pellets are fed from a containment silo to a feed hopper above an extruder line.

The advantages of extruded acrylic are better tolerance on thickness easier to bend shape and can be flame polished. Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant. Extruded acrylic sheets are manufactured by a continuous production process. Extruded cast acrylic sheet.
