CLEAR CAST ACRYLIC SHEET

About Our Clear Cast Acrylic Sheets

Our clear cast acrylic is transparent, moisture resistant, and half the weight of glass, despite being 17 times stronger. If you are looking to work with a more versatile plastic that can be easily shaped, machined and laser-cut, clear cast is a better alternative than extruded alternative, due to its higher molecular weight. Choose cast acrylic sheets if you are looking to construct aquariums, POP displays, acrylic furniture, trade showpieces or even retail accessories.

Acme Plastics' Acrylic Cast Clear Sheets are available in a wide range of thicknesses and sizes. Cut to size option is available.

What is an Acrylic Cast Clear Sheet?

Cast acrylic sheets are lightweight, available in a variety of colors and thicknesses, and features greater thermal stability than in extruded form. Of the two, cast acrylic sheets have greater optical clarity. It is slightly harder overall in this form versus extrusion. When engraved, cast acrylic sheets result in a frosted appearance, as opposed to clear engraving on extruded sheets. Common applications for cast acrylic sheets include Point-Of-Purchase (POP) and store displays, skylights, furniture, picture frames, products for the aerospace industry, and because of its greater resistance to temperature fluctuation, ice rinks.

Is Plexiglass Cast Acrylic?

Generally speaking, when someone is referring to plexiglass they mean “clear acrylic.” Plexiglass comes in many forms such as a clear cast sheet or a clear extruded sheet. The terms are often used interchangeably. Plexiglas (written with one “s”), however, is a brand name of cell cast acrylic.

How is Cast Acrylic Produced?

Cast acrylic can be created using two different techniques, batch cell and continuous production. Batch cell is a molding process often used to make tubes and rods. On the other hand, continuous production, which shares the name of casting, is a quick process that runs nonstop, requiring less labor.
