Cast Acrylic Sheet
Cast acrylic sheets offer superior optical clarity and thickness stability compared to extruded acrylic. They are preferred in applications requiring precision machining and minimal internal stress, such as high-end displays, light diffusion, and laser engraving.
Optical Grade Plexiglass
This material provides optical-grade transparency with over 92% light transmission. It remains distortion-free even in thicker formats, making it ideal for lenses, showcases, or environments where undisturbed visual presentation is critical.
Thick Clear Acrylic Panel
Panels ranging from 1/2 inch to 3 inches in thickness are commonly used in high-strength applications like aquarium windows, bullet-resistant barriers, or industrial shields where clarity and strength must coexist.
UV-Resistant Plastic Sheet
Formulated for both indoor and outdoor use, these sheets resist yellowing, cracking, and degradation due to sunlight exposure. Perfect for signs, awnings, and outdoor furniture components that demand long-term clarity and durability.
Laser Cut Acrylic Material
Thanks to its consistent thickness and low-stress properties, cast acrylic is ideal for laser cutting, CNC routing, and intricate fabrication. It delivers clean edges, smooth finishes, and high dimensional accuracy for custom work and decorative use.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between cast and extruded acrylic?
Cast acrylic has better optical clarity, is more resistant to solvents, and offers a harder, more stable surface than extruded. It’s also better for laser cutting.
Can this sheet be used to make thick display blocks or furniture?
Yes. Thicknesses up to 3″ make it perfect for heavy-duty or visually striking pieces like clear tabletops, risers, and shelving.
Is the sheet UV-stable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. This cast acrylic is UV-resistant and won’t yellow or degrade when exposed to sunlight over time.
Can I use this for an aquarium panel or water feature?
Yes, thicker sheets (typically 1″+) are suitable for aquarium walls and water tanks due to their clarity and pressure resistance.
Can I polish or bend thick acrylic?
Yes. You can flame polish edges and bend the material using proper heating equipment. Thicker sheets require longer heat time and proper suppor
