Cast acrylic sheet is the plastic sheet of choice for those looking for superior clarity and strength for their applications. Cast acrylic is lightweight, has high impact resistance, and offers superior optical clarity. In fact, acrylic has a higher optical clarity than glass and is 10 times more shatter resistant. Cast acrylic also comes in many sizes, thicknesses, finishes and is easily fabricated and thermoformed to meet your needs. Furthermore, cast acrylic sheet boasts a higher molecular weight than its extruded acrylic counterpart, and it has a better resistance to crazing when exposed to solvents and a harder surface.
