Extruded acrylic sheet thickness.

Cut to size items cannot be returned for a refund or exchange. These are general guidelines for thickness tolerances on plexiglass acrylic sheets. Acrylite premium acrylic sheet is the highest quality extruded plastic sheet on the market. Our extruded acrylic sheets are transparent moisture resistant and about half the weight of glass.

Please call us at 858 560 1551 with any questions. Extruded acrylic is also clearer than glass and. Here are the tolerances on the thickness of the acrylic sheets that we offer. Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant.

Whereas perspex cast is produced in small batches extruded sheet is made by extruding acrylic polymer over longer more economical production runs. Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets. Can be thermoformed odourless printed. 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. Both extruded and cast acrylic sheets comply with fda requirements for food contact which also makes it an ideal choice for. Sheet sizes colors. Sizes 1 16 3 8 are the extruded sheets and the 1 2 3 4 and 1 are the cast sheets.

Extruded acrylic sheet offers excellent thickness tolerance and is extremely easy to vacuum form making it ideal for applications where complex shapes are required. Cast acrylic has a less consistent sheet thickness with up to 10 variation possible across the panel. Because of the continuous nature of production short production runs are of the order of 3 5 tonne per size and gauge and colour. More flexible than glass or metals acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates polycarbonates or vinyl.

Plastic sheets have a thickness tolerance of 10 and can have thickness variations throughout the sheet. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively. Exact thickness tolerances will vary by manufacturer.
