8mm Perspex Sheet – Heavy-Duty Acrylic for High-Performance Applications

The 8mm Perspex sheet is a robust, premium-grade acrylic panel designed for applications requiring greater rigidity, impact resistance, and structural stability. With enhanced thickness, this sheet is an ideal alternative to glass in projects where strength, safety, and long-term durability are critical.

Manufactured from high-quality cast acrylic (PMMA), the 8mm thickness offers significant support for medium to large panel installations without the risk of bending or warping. It combines aesthetic clarity with industrial-level strength, making it suitable for both visual and load-bearing purposes.

Key Features

• Superior Rigidity: With its 8mm thickness, the sheet offers increased structural integrity and is less prone to flexing over large spans.
• High Light Transmission: Maintains up to 92% transparency, offering a clear, clean finish for any application.
• Weather and UV Resistance: Designed for long-term outdoor exposure without yellowing or degrading.
• Impact and Shatter Resistant: Much stronger and safer than glass, especially in high-traffic or public spaces.
• Workable Material: Supports laser cutting, CNC machining, bending, gluing, and polishing with excellent finish quality.
• Lightweight: Easier to handle and install than traditional glass while providing comparable performance.

Ideal Uses

• Protective panels and safety partitions in commercial spaces
• Outdoor signboards and illuminated displays
• Interior design elements such as wall panels and feature installations
• Machine covers, enclosures, and industrial components
• Aquariums, terrariums, and transparent structural applications
• Architectural glazing and balcony barriers

Thickness Range Options

While 8mm is considered a heavy-duty mid-range option, Perspex sheets are available in a variety of thicknesses:

• Thin: 2mm – 4mm
• Standard: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm
• Thick: 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm and above (customizable)

Customization Options

• Sizes: Sheets can be custom-cut to your required dimensions. Standard sheet size is typically 1220x2440mm or 1250x2450mm.
• Colors: Available in clear, opal, tinted, frosted, colored, fluorescent, and mirror finishes.
• Functional Add-ons: Options include anti-UV, anti-glare, anti-static, and flame-retardant features.
• Surface Finishes: Glossy, matte, textured, or embossed based on your application needs.

Processing & Fabrication

The 8mm Perspex sheet is ideal for both manual and automated fabrication:

• CNC cutting and laser engraving for precise, complex shapes
• Heat bending for curved or 3D structures
• Edge polishing and buffing for a professional, glass-like finish
• Drilling, fastening, and joining for architectural or mechanical applications
