Extruded acrylic provides the most uniformity in thickness and is also the most economical.

Extruded acrylic sheets.

Extruded cast acrylic sheet 060 to 220 sheets are extruded 354 to 944 are cast half the weight of glass more impact resistant meets ansi z97 1 for use as a safety glazing material clear colorless. Acme plastics acrylic extruded clear sheets are available in a wide selection of thicknesses and sheet sizes. Crystal clear and color tinted options are available featuring no distortion or yellowing and offer better optical quality than glass.

This material is a better choice for outdoor use than polycarbonate because it is scratch and uv resistant and it maintains clarity over time. Plexiglass sheet extruded acrylic plastic sheet is available in cut to size sheets full sheets or standard basic sizes. Extruded acrylic sheets are manufactured by a continuous production process. Plexiglass can also be heat formed without loss of optical clarity.

Extruded acrylic is also clearer than glass and will not yellow after prolonged sun exposure because it resists ultraviolet light degradation. Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets. Modified for increased impact strength over other types of acrylic these extruded acrylic sheets are often used for skylights and outdoor signs. 187 on sizes under 48 x 96 extruded forming.

Extruded acrylic is transparent moisture resistant and half the weight of glass but many times stronger. Mirrored scratch resistant acrylic sheets. Production advancements have made it possible for materials of up to one inch in thickness without noticeable die lines which in the past have been a barrier for this material. The pellets are fed into the extrusion barrel and are driven through the barrel by a single or twin screw auger system.

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 features an impact resistant design that is up to three times stronger than double strength window glass and up to five times stronger than wire glass. Extruded acrylic sheet is easy to cut glue polish bend and thermoform. Acrylic or pmma pellets are fed from a containment silo to a feed hopper above an extruder line.
