Non-glare acrylic sheet, also known as non-glare plexiglass or P-99 acrylic, is a type of clear cast acrylic sheet specifically designed to reduce glare and reflections. This characteristic makes non-glare acrylic the perfect material solution for picture and poster framing applications.
To achieve this non-glare effect, non-glare acrylic has a light matte translucent finish on one side that becomes clearer when flush against images. Industry professionals enjoy using non-glare acrylic because it shows perfectly undistracted views of their images and art.
Benefits of Non-Glare Acrylic
Non-glare acrylic boasts many of the same features as standard cast acrylic. These plastic sheets are easy to fabricate, shatter resistant, and lightweight, making them easy to construct and install.
Non-glare acrylic solves the problem of light reflection when light is directed at different angles. This characteristic helps maximize the clarity of framed artwork and prints.
At ten times the strength and half the weight of glass, non-glare plexiglass serves as an ideal alternative to traditional glass applications. It is also more impact resistant than glass, making non-glare plexiglass safe to install in children’s rooms, sports areas, and other highly trafficked areas. In addition, this material is resistant to UV light degradation, and it won’t rapidly yellow or degrade over time.
Among other things, acrylic is known for its low water absorption, good electrical resistivity, and ability to be easily glued and machined.
