Extruded Acrylic

Extruded acrylic sheet offers excellent thickness tolerance and is easy to vacuum form, making it ideal for applications where complex shapes are required. Extruded sheet is made over longer, more economical production runs so is not available in the same wide range of colours as with Perspex® cast acrylic.

Clear extruded acrylic has an exceptional light transmission superior to all other thermoplastic sheet, with the exception of Perspex® cast acrylic.

IM is a modified, extruded acrylic that offers an improved impact strength. Unlike standard extruded acrylic it is less notch sensitive and therefore, its impact strength also remains after fabrication. The impact modified grade also helps with ease of thermoforming.

Glass-Look extruded acrylic sheet provides the appearance of green tint glass, but at half the weight and five times its impact strength, offers the aesthetics without the associated risk of breakages.

Opal extruded acrylic sheet can be used for lightbox applications. The light transmitted through the opal sheet receives maximum haze and subsequently offers maximum light diffraction.

Extruded acrylic mirror, at half the weight and five times the impact strength of plate glass mirror, offers all the benefits without the associated risk of breakages.

Also available as AR with a fine, matt texture on both sides. This surface finish is primarily to help avoid glare by reducing reflections but also works equally well to disguise finger marks from handling.

Extruded acrylic is available in white and black only as standard. Due to the nature of the extrusion process with longer production runs, extruded acrylic is much more limited in its choice of colours when compared to its cast equivalent. Refer Perspex® Colours for a more comprehensive selection of colours and finishes.

Prismatic extruded acrylic is used exclusively for lenses in lighting applications. The prismatic surface is one of the most established products for the control of glare and diffusion in fluorescent light fittings.
