Arkema Plexiglas® IMPACT Family

Plexiglas IMPACT Family A C RY L I C S H E E T Ever wished you could have a Plexiglas acrylic sheet product that has more impact resistance and toughness compared to standard Plexiglas MC acrylic sheet The Plexiglas IMPACT Family of acrylic sheet products provides this option Depending on your application needs there are four levels of n Improved Toughness n Increased Chemical Resistance n High Optical Clarity n Proven Weatherability toughness and impact resistance to choose from. Plexiglas T n Can be easily fabricated and thermoformed acrylic sheet contains the lowest level of impact modifier. As the n Thickness range from 0.080 0.236 level of impact modifier is increased Plexiglas T2 and Plexiglas T3 are offered all the way up to Plexiglas DR acrylic sheet which n Colors available upon request has the highest level of impact modifier throughout the sheet. The Plexiglas IMPACT Family of products combines the beauty of Plexiglas MC with added toughness. You no longer have to sacrifice clarity design flexibility or fabrication techniques to get the performance you desire.
