Extruded Acrylic Sheet Thickness

Tilara acrylic sheet is a thermoplastic sheet that is an alternative of polycarbonate when extreme strength.

Extruded acrylic sheet thickness.

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. Can be thermoformed odourless printed. These are general guidelines for thickness tolerances on plexiglass acrylic sheets.

Sheet sizes colors. It is thermo formable and can be reworked hot which is not always. Exact thickness tolerances will vary by manufacturer. 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. Cut to size items cannot be returned for a refund or exchange. Extruded plexiglass acrylic sheets on the other hand have a higher tolerance when heated or bent and are typically more malleable than cast plexiglass acrylic sheets. Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across 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. Extruded sheets have a better tolerance on thickness typically or 10 however tighter tolerances can be achieved by prior agreement with the extrusion mill. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively.

Our extruded acrylic sheets are transparent moisture resistant and about half the weight of glass. 0 060 1 16 1 5 mm. Acrylite premium acrylic sheet is the highest quality extruded plastic sheet on the market. Sizes 1 16 3 8 are the extruded sheets and the 1 2 3 4 and 1 are the cast sheets.

Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant. Because of the continuous nature of production short production runs are of the order of 3 5 tonne per size and gauge and colour. Extruded acrylic is also clearer than glass and.
