Description of Cast Acrylic Sheet Thick Nominal Raw Materials in Plastics
LIGHT IN WEIGHT Acrylic (specific gravity 1.19) is less than half the weight when compared to inorganic glass. CHEMICAL RESISTANT Acrylic is resistant to inorganic chemicals and normal chained hydrocarbons. However, contact with organic solvents may cause swelling, crazing, or cracking. IMPACT RESISTANT Acrylic is approximately 8 to 10 times more resistant to impact than ordinary plate glass. EASY FABRICATION Acrylic can be saw cut, drilled, routed, machined, solvent cemented, polished and strip bent using conventional acrylic sheet fabrication techniques. THERMO FORMABLE An excellent thermoplastic, acrylic may be thermoformed. Because it is a cell cast sheet, it is not subject to the excessive shrinkage that is encountered in extruded or continuously manufactured sheets.
Pros
- THERMOFORMABLE Excellent thermoplastic, acrylic can be thermoformed. Because it is a cellular cast film, it does not experience the excessive shrinkage associated with extruded or continuously formed films.

Pros
- EASY TO MANUFACTURE Acrylic can be sawed, drilled, routed, machined, solvent bonded, polished and stripped using standard acrylic sheet manufacturing processes.
Cons
- Large and bulky
