An Acrylic is a transparent thermoplastic homopolymer material which is similar to polycarbonate. It is suitable for the use of impact-resistant alternative to glasses with high impact strength. Known as the most common material, plastic sheets are available in several colors. The raw materials allow internal transmission of light; therefore, it works as a wonderful substitute.

The acrylic material is very much similar to polycarbonate. The only possible difference is that it contains no potentially harmful substances such as bisphenol-A (BPA).

These are readily available inexpensive materials and a good alternative to Polycarbonate with good scratch resistance features. If you are looking for Acrylic in Sydney, give us a call.

ADDITIONAL ACRYLIC PROPERTIES

Extruded Acrylic – The acrylic sheet can be manufactured in any length. Which minimizes material and financial loss. The sheet can be fabricated in a customized size. Extruded acrylic is the easiest grade of thermoforming and the easiest bond using solvent cement.

Cast Acrylic – These sheets have better chemical resistance with superior characteristics higher than extruded acrylic.

Acrylic for architectural applications – It is light weight and weather resistance which makes this a popular choice for architects. From lightning fixtures to canopies acrylic sheets can be used in every space.

FDA Complaint Acrylic – It is available in FDA complaint grades.

Cut to size Acrylic sheets – It is available in ‘cut to size’. Gain the flexibility of buying acrylic sheets. Save time, eliminate scrap, reduce wear and improve productivity.

Acrylic packs – Different grades of acrylic sheets are sold in much more convenient pack ranging from 4-12 sheets.
