Extruded acrylic plexiglass sheets.

The materials allow for a broad range of design considerations that allow you the flexibility needed in your applications. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively. 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.

In brief they are manufactured by two different production processes. Extruded acrylic sheet extruded acrylic sheet can be manufactured to any length which often results in cost savings since yield loss can be minimized when parts are cut from custom sheet sizes. Cast acrylic as the name suggests is manufactured by a process whereby mma methyl methacrylate monomer liquid is pumped into a mould made from two sheets of glass. It is thermo formable and can be reworked hot which is not always.

Extruded acrylic is more affordable and malleable than cast acrylic making it a smart solution in general fabrication and a variety of applications. Difference between cast acrylic sheet and extruded acrylic sheets cast acrylic sheets. Falken design 24 in. The mould monomer.

Our extruded acrylic sheets are transparent moisture resistant and about half the weight of glass. Set your store to see local availability add to cart. Extruded acrylic is also the easiest grade to thermoform and the easiest to bond using solvent cements. Plexiglass is a commonly used name to describe acrylic that originates from the brand name plexiglas similar to the way that kleenex a brand name is often used generically to describe a facial tissue.

Plexiglas is a registered brand name. Cast acrylic has a less consistent sheet thickness with up to 10 variation possible across the panel. Plexiglass sheet extruded acrylic plastic sheet is available in cut to size sheets full sheets or standard basic sizes. Plexiglass can also be heat formed without loss of optical clarity.

Extruded plexiglass acrylic sheets have a higher tolerance when heated or bent and are typically more malleable than cast plexiglass acrylic sheets.
