Acrylic Sheet Family

Plexiglas® acrylic sheet has been considered the standard of the industry since it was first introduced more than 50 years ago because of its unsurpassed quality, ease of use, and wide range of colors, patterns, thicknesses, and sizes.

Plexiglas® G Cell-Cast Acrylic Sheet
Premium architectural-grade Plexiglas® G satisfies the requirements for all high performance acrylic sheet applications. Plexiglas® G is made by a cell-casting process which provides the following characteristics: best optical-quality, highest long-term design stress, superior weatherability, ease of fabrication, and the highest degree of chemical resistance available in an acrylic sheet. Plexiglas® G sheet is available in colorless, white translucent and many transparent colors. Plexiglas® G is sold in a variety of thicknesses, and it is available in sheet sizes of 4'x8'and other standard sizes. We can cast a custom sheet to order to just about any size and thickness.

Plexiglas® MC Acrylic Sheet
Plexiglas® MC is an economical sheet produced via a proprietary process known as melt calendaring. It offers many of the same high quality features as Plexiglas® G. In addition, it has exceptional thickness tolerance and can be thermoformed to greater detail. Plexiglas® MC sheet is available in sign white, black, and more than 30 translucent and transparent colors. MC is available in a wide variety of sheet sizes and patterns, with thicknesses from 0.060" to 0.354". This is the standard material you will receive when asking for a sheet of "Plexiglas".

Plexiglas® Frosted Acrylic Sheet
Designed for use in point-of-purchase displays, illuminated signage, and as a lighting diffuser, Plexiglas® Frosted sheet is made from an acrylic resin that incorporates a frosting mechanism that is integrated throughout the sheet structure. This mechanism provides a textured finish on all surfaces, requiring no secondary finishing.

Plexiglas® UF-3, UF-4 and UF-5 Acrylic
Some applications, such as document and fine art preservation, call for a material that absorbs more ultraviolet (UV) energy than ordinary glass with absorbing visible light.

Plexiglas® G UF-3 and Plexiglas® MC UF-5 standard and non-glare acrylic sheet finishes filter out up to 99% of all UV rays, as well as some visible light while maintaining the full range of physical properties associated with standard Plexiglas® sheet. Both offer spectrophotometric characteristics that enable them to filter out harmful UV energy.

Plexiglas® G UF-4, developed for mercury vapor lighting applications, can also be used as a protective shield. Plexiglas® G UF-4 does transmit slightly more UV energy than Plexiglas® G UF-3 and Plexiglas® MC UF-5 sheets.

Plexiglas® G UF-3 and UF-4 options are available in sheet sizes of 48", 60", and 72" by 96", and in thickness ranging from 0.118" to 0.472". Plexiglas® MC UF-5 is available in a standard sheet size of 48" by 96", and in thicknesses of 0.060", 0.118" (1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 mm).

Plexiglas® G P-95 Acrylic Sheet
Plexiglas® G standard acrylic P95 is patterned on one side of the sheet; this is an added texture that provides decorative effects and diffuses annoying surface reflections. The matte finish is available on one side only.

P-95 is manufactured via a cell-cast process that satisfies the requirements of nearly all high-performance applications. The matte finish is available in a number of colors with sheet sizes ranging from 48" x 96" to 72" x 96". Thicknesses include 0.118", 0.177" and 0.236".

Plexiglas® T Acrylic Sheet Impact Series
Plexiglas® T high-clarity impact-resistant acrylic sheet is now available in three grades - T, T2 and T3. Each one offers outstanding aesthetics, rigidity and weatherability in POP and display environments. Plexiglas® T acrylic sheet grades are available in colorless, white and black. Sheet sizes vary; thicknesses range from 0.080" to 0.354".

All grades provide designers with flexibility, surface hardness and versatile fabrication techniques. Aesthetic appeal is retained even with displays placed in high traffic areas.
