Thin Acrylic Sheets

Thin acrylic sheets are flat, transparent panels made from acrylic, a synthetic thermoplastic material. Acrylic, also known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a lightweight and durable plastic with excellent optical clarity. Thin acrylic sheets refer to sheets that have a small thickness, typically ranging from 0.5mm to 3mm, although this may vary depending on the manufacturer.

These sheets are commonly used in various applications due to their versatility and desirable properties. Some of the key features of thin acrylic sheets include:

Transparency: Acrylic sheets are highly transparent, allowing for excellent light transmission. They provide clear visibility and do not significantly distort the view through the material.

Lightweight: Thin acrylic sheets are lightweight compared to glass, making them easier to handle and install. Their reduced weight also allows for more flexibility in design and application.

Impact Resistance: Acrylic has good impact resistance, making it less likely to break or shatter compared to glass. This property is particularly valuable in applications where safety is a concern, such as in protective barriers or signage.

Weatherability: Acrylic sheets have excellent weather resistance, meaning they can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and outdoor elements without yellowing or significant degradation.

Easy Fabrication: Thin acrylic sheets can be easily cut, drilled, and shaped using common tools, making them adaptable to various design requirements. They can also be thermoformed or bent into curved shapes when heated.

Thin acrylic sheets find applications in several industries, including:

Signage and displays: Acrylic sheets are commonly used in advertising signage, point-of-sale displays, and retail fixtures due to their optical clarity and ease of customization.

Lighting: Acrylic is often used as a diffuser material in lighting fixtures to distribute light evenly and reduce glare.

Crafts and DIY projects: Thin acrylic sheets are popular among hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts for crafting projects, such as model making, jewelry, and art installations.

Electronics and screens: Acrylic is used as a protective cover for electronic displays, such as smartphones, tablets, and touchscreens, providing scratch resistance and impact protection.

Architecture and construction: Acrylic sheets are utilized in architectural applications, including windows, skylights, and partitions, where their lightweight nature and impact resistance are advantageous.

Overall, thin acrylic sheets offer a versatile and practical alternative to glass and other materials in various applications that require transparency, durability, and design flexibility.

How to choose thin plexiglass sheets ?

We provide a diverse selection of acrylic sheets, offering two distinct types: cell-cast and extruded. Both types are derived from chemical reactions between monomers and catalysts, each possessing its own unique characteristics and features. Our collection includes glossy, matte, and textured sheets, making it easier than ever to find the perfect material for your specific application. Moreover, we offer a range of customization services to accommodate any specific requirements you may have.

Cell-cast acrylic sheet

Cell-cast acrylic is the highest quality option available, delivering exceptional optical clarity and thermal stability. The labor-intensive process involves blending liquid ingredients in glass molds. While it may be more expensive, casting yields a more rigid, durable, and uniform product, making it ideal for large structures and installations. In addition, cast acrylic exhibits superior chemical resistance compared to extrusion, making it well-suited for applications involving fragrances, lotions, or other solvents. Thick cast acrylic is particularly suitable for situations where standard sheets are inadequate. These extra-thick, crystal-clear sheets are distortion-free and excellent for machining.

Extruded acrylic sheet

Extruded acrylic is produced by continuously pushing acrylic mass through a mold, resulting in an impact-resistant and heterogeneous product. Its properties can vary depending on the direction of extrusion. Extruded acrylic is more affordable and dimensionally stable than cast acrylic, making it a cost-effective solution for general fabrication and a wide range of applications. Due to its malleability and low melting point, this type of acrylic is well-suited for laser cutting, routing, polishing, cementing, and thermoforming. It is also less prone to contamination from dirt, lint, or particulates during the production process. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent resistance to yellowing caused by prolonged sun exposure, thanks to its ability to withstand ultraviolet light degradation. Our transparent acrylic sheets maintain their original color and appearance despite exposure to cold, heat, humidity, and sunlight. You can confidently use extruded sheets for greenhouse glazing, shed or garage window installations, and various indoor applications.

How to care for and clean thin acrylic sheets ?

Using harsh cleaners such as ammonia or window cleaners can potentially cause damage and result in crazing on acrylic/plexiglass sheets. However, these sheets are highly durable and require minimal maintenance. If any adhesive or sticky substance accidentally comes into contact with the surface, it is crucial to use products specifically designed for acrylic care and cleaning. It's worth noting that acrylic without additives possesses natural UV resistance. Some manufacturers include stabilizers to enhance UV protection for prolonged exposure to radiation. When utilizing these UV enhanced materials, it is important to handle them with care in order to maintain their longevity.

Plexiglass acrylic sheets exhibit water-resistant properties, making them suitable for outdoor applications. They are commonly used for windows in submarines and cars. Additionally, they play a significant role in construction, engineering, outdoor displays and signage, and even underwater camera lenses. Moreover, they are considered to be dishwasher safe when used as substitutes for glass in dishware and kitchenware.

Can I ask for Cut-To-Size thin plexiglass sheets ?

Yes, of couse.

Our standard cut-to-size length and width tolerances are typically more accurate than the +/-1/8" specified. However, if you require even greater precision, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team. For our white acrylic sheet thickness, the tolerances are within +/-10%, with variations throughout the sheet usually less than 5%. Please refer to the nominal and actual sheet thicknesses provided below:

  • 1/8" = 3mm = 0.118"

  • 3/16" = 4.5mm = 0.177"

  • 1/4" = 5.5mm = 0.217"

  • 3/8" = 9mm = 0.354"

  • 1/2" = 12mm = 0.472"
