Acrylic sheets are transparent thermoplastic material

Update:24-04-2023
Acrylic sheets are a type of plastic sheet made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a transparent thermoplastic material that is often used as a lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to glass. Acrylic sheets are also known by the brand names Plexiglas, Lucite, and Perspex.

Acrylic sheets have several advantages over glass, including greater impact resistance, lighter weight, and greater flexibility. They also have good optical clarity, UV resistance, and can be easily molded and shaped into various forms. Acrylic sheets can be used in a wide range of applications, including signage, displays, protective shields, aquariums, and more.

Acrylic sheets come in various thicknesses, sizes, and colors, and can be cut to size using various methods, including sawing, laser cutting, or water jet cutting. They can also be drilled, polished, and bonded using specialized techniques.

When using acrylic sheets, it is important to handle them with care to prevent scratching and cracking. They should be cleaned with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild soap and water, and never cleaned with ammonia-based products or abrasive cleaners.
